Posted by Ryan Geiger · Leave a Comment
On this 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.
