global leadership summit

Orchard Hill Church is a host site to this year's Global Leadership Summit today and tomorrow. I spent 8 hours listening to the following speakers today: Bill Hybels, Jim Collins, Christine Caine, Tony Dungy interviewed by Craig Groeschel, Peter Xiao, and Andy Stanley. If you love to learn about and from great leaders, I'm sure you could google any one of the names above and find a talk they gave, a book they wrote, etc...

Some short phrases and thoughts that "stuck" with me today-

- Leaders not only need to cast a vision of a preferred future, they need to help their people see where they currently are and why remaining where they are is not acceptable. (Hybels)

- Because vision leaks so quickly, we must inspire and encourage by celebrating the progress made on the journey...especially in the middle of the journey. (Hybels)

- Humility separated the level 5 leaders from level 4 leaders studied. (Collins)

- You do what you want out of your passion. (what you have to out of obligation) - (Caine)

- Some problems should not be solved, some tensions should not be resolved. Managing well and leveraging these kinds of insistent problems/tensions can actually stimulate growth and progress in your organization. - (Stanley)

So many more thoughts behind those phrases, and so many leadership insights from the day. Looking forward to tomorrow!
