There is a reason they give him the mainstage twice at a leadership conference. Cause when he teaches leadership its like hot butta. He shared 5 Random thoughts in leadership. Theses are 5 sayings that he has collected over the years and hung in his office. They are…….
1. “To reach people no one else is reaching, we must do things, no one else is doing.” – Craig Groeschel

- Become preoccupied with those you haven’t reached as oppose to those you are trying to keep
2. “The next generation product almost never comes from the previous generation” – Al Reis
- We must let young people lead and take the reigns.
- Be a student, not a critic
- Critics rarely learn anything, because they think they know everything.
3. “What do I believe is impossible to do in my field, but if it could be done would fundamentally change my business?” – Joel Barker
- Pay attention to people who are breaking the rules

4. “If we got bought out and the board brought in a new CEO, what would he do? Why shouldn’t we walk out the door, come back in and do it ourselves?” – Andy Grove
- We fall in love with the way we do ministry and therefore do not want to change.
- No pain, no change
- Acknowledge whats not working and own up to it. Ask yourself why you are unwilling to do anything about it
- Ask, “Where are we manufacturing energy?” Where are we having to push and push and keep doing it but for no real reason? If you don’t make the changes, the next person will.
