Tony Morgan, author of Killing Cockroaches: and Other Scattered Musings on Leadership (a book on my Kindle), gave his blog readers these take-away quotes from Willow Creek’s recent Leadership Summit:
Tony Blair:
“Sometimes the comfortable thing to do isn’t the right thing to do.”
Bono:
“What I really find hard to take is lifeless ceremony.”
David Gergen:
“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” (quoting unknown person)
Dave Gibbons:
“In God’s economy, vision should move from the fringes to the middle.”
Gary Harnel:
“When an organization misses the future, it’s not because it was unknown–it was because it’s inpalatable.”
Dan Heath:
“When you find the bright spot, study it and clone it.”
Bill Hybels:
“When I listen to God slowly, he speaks more frequently.”
Carly Fiorina:
“People consider it compassionate not to be honest with people. It’s not. That’s disrespectful.” (dealing with poor performance)
Tim Keller:
“People who believe the Gospel are utterly different.”
Andrew Rugasira:
“There is no country in the world that has developed through handouts.”
Wess Stafford:
“What’s your cause? Does it move you to tears? What is it that moves you passionately?”
If you attended the Leadership Summit, any take-away quotes you want to add?
Bill Hybels
“The local Church is the hope of the world.”
Thanks, Mark!
