Over the next three blogs 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: Chip & Dan Heath

Craig Groeschel from LifeChurch.tv is interviewing Chip and Dan.
[I like Dan, because he too dislikes country music.]
Dan and Chip are talking about their new book Switch: www.amazon.com
Chip: “Change is filled with conflict.”
Focus on what’s working.
Dan: “When you find the bright spot, study it and clone it.”
TBU = “True but useless.”
Craig: “What are the areas of ministry that God is blessing, and what are we going to throw behind us?”
Chip: “Big problems. Small solutions.”
Dan: “We owe it to help people prepare for adversity.”
Dan: Between hope and confidence in finding a solution is the “valley of insight.”
Craig: “We call that hell.”
Dan: “Failure is not something to be avoided. It may be an early warning sign for success.”
Chip: “We attribute problems to people rather than their situation.”
