More on Spiritual Leadership














Here are few more quotes from J. Oswald Sanders' "Spiritual Leadership."
I hope you find them as thought provoking as I have.

"True Greatness, true leadership, is achieved not by reducing men to one’s service but in giving oneself in selfless service to them. And that is never done without cost."

"Spiritual leaders must be willing to suffer for the sake of objectives great enough to demand their wholehearted obedience."

"Pessimism and leadership are at opposite ends of life's attitudes. Hope and optimism are essential qualities for the servant of God who battles with the powers of darkness over the souls of men and women. God's ideal Servant is optimistic until every part of God's work is done."


AND HERE IS MY FAVORITE FOR TODAY...

“A great deal more failure is the result of an excess of caution than of bold experimentation with new ideas. The frontiers of the Kingdom of God were never advanced by men and women of caution.”
