Leadership Summit 10 of 11

Over the next blog I will be re-posting quotes from the Leadership Summit at Willow Creek that happened last week.  Bill Hybels heads up this conference and brings in some of the most influential leaders in the country each year to be a part of the process.  I am simply re-posting what Tony Morgan has on his blog www.tonymorganlive.com, these are not my quotes or comments.  These quotes may or may not apply to you or the position you may hold but if you can benefit from any of the truths that are written than run with it.

Leadership Summit: Tony Blair

• “Sometimes the comfortable thing to do isn’t the right thing to do.”
• “Be prepared to walk away.”
• “If the facts change, I change my mind.”
• “There are those running a commentary and then there are those who are actually trying to shape the world around them.”
• “If you are of religious faith, it’s the most important thing in your life.”
• “Of course it sustained me enormously.”
• “Faith is a potent force for good or bad.”
• “Are we going to react or make a statement?”
• [It's interesting how many times the various speakers over the last couple of days have referred to "emotional appeals" in communications.]
• “I feel like I have a purpose in life.”
• “Leadership is a blessing. It’s a gift–a gift you can use to help others.”
• “The joy of getting something done makes all the pain worthwhile.”
• “It’s a gift from God and we should use it.”
• Hybels: “What is my irreducible core?” (referencing Blair comments)
• Hybels: “Will I pay whatever price I have to pay to stay true to that?”
