Spiritual Leadership – Volume 2

Description

“Gentleness is not weakness; it is strength under control. Be professional, not emotional. Be calm and calculated. Use only as much force as is necessary. Where a request will get the job done, a command is not necessary. Where kindness will get the job done, force and ferocity are unnecessary and damaging.” –from chapter: Leadership and People Problems

“Character is not an accident. It is something that we develop. The less character you have, the more governing you require. The more governing you require, the less capable you are of handling leadership. The most important person you lead is you. If you won’t cammand yourself, you must be commmanded. If you will not protect yourself, you must be protected by some outside force. If you will not restrain yourself, you must be restrained. If you will not discipline yourself, you must be disciplined. If you will not govern yourself, you must be governed. If you will not parent yourself, you must be parented.” –from chapter: the Most Important Follower, Spiritual Leadership I

“Victory is the result of orders being obeyed rather than discussed.” –General Douglas MacArthur
