Top Leadership Summit quotes from past 7 years: Messes are always a prelude to miracles. -Dave Gibbons Thousands could have, thousands had the idea... One did. - Jim Collins You can choose comfort or courage but not both. They are mutually exclusive. -Brene Brown People are kept from success by asking the wrong question, “What do I want to do?” instead of asking the right question, “What do I want to do next?” Succeed with little bets, small steps, and tiny wins. -Len Schlesinger The growth mindset- We know if we work a muscle it gets bigger. People with a growth mindset think that way about everything in life. They are conditioned for failure... failure may actually be an early sign of success. - Chip and Dan Heath Chronic inconsistency breeds constant mediocrity. - Jim Collins The greatest power in conflict is not to react. Go gain some perspective before you respond. Focus on interest and not positions- Always probe behind the positions and find the underline interest. - William Ury There is a 40% differential in productivity from a member that is inspired vs uninspired. It is your job to stay inspired. What are you doing to motivate yourself? - Bill Hybles We give an under-performer three months of coaching to put them on a better performance track. We give someone with a bad attitude 30 days. We want to build and infectiously optimistic organization so we give 30 days to someone who is negative. -Bill Hybles Nothing is worse than someone with bad energy... a wet blanket. These are the top people: Filled with energy, good values, likeable…. And they have a gene that says, “I love to see people grow.” - Jack Welsh The biggest predictor of people who get “there” (preferred reality) is whether or not they believed they would get there. The ones who spiraled out in the research have a “learned helplessness” through negative mentality when circumstances get out of control. - Henry Cloud Choose your companions before you choose your road. -Mark Burnett Leaders spend a lot of time explaining themselves. Make the argument instead of giving a command. -Terry Kelly The top people aren’t geniuses, they are genius makers. -Liz Wiseman The size of the harvest is dependent on the number of leaders. If you don’t raise up leaders, your harvest will be limited to your personal capacity. - Oscar Muriu Choose to pursue excellence... the church has spiritualized mediocrity. It’s bad for our witness when we are sub-par, safe and uncreative. - Gary Haugen Follow your compass, not your clock. - Bill George
