QUOTES AGAIN

It has been some time since I posted a number of quotes, so I thought just before Christmas might be a good time for this activity.

"Don't wish it was easier; wish you were better. Don't wish for less problems; wish for more skills. Don't wish for less challenges; wish for more wisdom."
Jim Rohn

"I am ready to meet my Maker - but whether my Maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter."
Winston Churchill

"I am absolutely convinced that with good leadership, freedom does not weaken discipline - it strengthens it. Free people have a powerful incentive not to screw up."
Captain D. Michael Abrashoff
former commander, USS Benfold

"Real communication happens when people feel safe."
Ken Blanchard

"The biggest battle going on every day is between your own ears."
Jack Canfield

"The true test of the effectiveness of the leader is this: Are your people better off when they leave than when they arrived."
James C. Hunter

"The first duty of any leader is to create more leaders."
A Wise General

"Leaders nurture a vision and at the right time declare it, so others can rally to the cause."
Bob Briner

"Leadership is a noble spiritual gift to be honored and highly esteemed."
Bob Briner

"Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave."
Jesus

I have all kinds of leadership books in my shrinking library. At my age, I felt the necessity of giving a large number of books to my pastor. The books on leadership, however, remain as a special part of my life. I like sharing some of the thoughts with those of you who take time to read my blog.

Jesus is lord and so it will ever remain.
