Leadership quotes from Cloud

I just started reading a book called "Axiom" by Bill Hybels. The foreword was written by Henry Cloud. Cloud wrote an awesome book called "Integrity" that you should definitely check out.

Here are some of the things that got me thinking in his foreword to Bill's new book.

"A leaders responsibility, first and foremost, is to cause a vision and mission to have tangible results in the real world."

" Without a real difference made in real people's lives , a vision is regulated to a pipe dream.."

- I loved this quote. It stopped me dead in my tracks as a church leader. I probably will write more about this later.

"Great leaders grow not just results, but people too."

- As a leader this really yanked my focus when it came to how I am leading those around me.

"Few things are more tragic than seeing zeal, talent, and a God-given goal fail because a leader neglected to get better."

-I better become more intentional about growing, resting, and spending time with God.

I hope these get you thinking.
