Inspiring Leaders of the World

Inspiring Leaders of the World

Each year our staff has the privilege to attend the Willow Creek Association Leadership Summit. For the past several years it has been held at Crossings Community Church in Oklahoma City, OK which is led by Pastor Marty Grubbs and staff.  It is a two day intensive with many great national and international guests who are leaders in business, churches, the non-profit sector, government, humanitarian efforts, education, sports, entertainment, and music. I would like to share some of the inspiring quotes that I heard this year.  Enjoy.

Bill Hybels – Pastor of Willow Creek, South Barrington, IL

Leaders should be Curious, Courageous, Experimental
Most valuable asset is their energy and ability to energize the organization, new initiatives, etc.
Leadership matters!

 Craig Groeschel – Pastor of Lifechurch.tv – Oklahoma City, OK


God values maturity.  If you’re not dead you’re not done.
If you ever want to be over, learn to be under with integrity.


 Patrick Lencioni - founder and president of The Table Group, Inc., author of The Advantage

 People need to be reminded more than they need to be instructed.

 Condoleeza Rice – former Secretary of State, National Security Advisor, Provost of Stanford University

Leaders should be optimistic
Keep perspective on your circumstances
Out of struggle comes victory
After Friday there would be Sunday [referring to the resurrection of Jesus Christ]

 Jim Collins – Author or coauthor of Good to Great, Built to Last, How the Mighty Fall, Great by Choice

Turn good intentions into great results.
The signature of mediocrity is chronic inconsistency
The only mistakes you can learn from are the ones you survive
Life is people and time with people you love.
Greatness is a matter of conscious choice and discipline.

 Marc Kielburger  Co-Founder of Free The Children; Co-CEO of Me To We

We sell HOPE!
We cannot do great things but we can do things with great love. -  Mother Teresa
Invest in the NOW
