Congresswoman Gwen Moore...On Relationships

It’s important to manage “it”.  You have to schedule your life around maintaining a relationship. Relationships are work.  And if you’re not willing to put the work in, you’re not going to have a relationship.  --Congresswoman Gwen Moore (D-WI)

Leadership Axiom: Do Something!...Bill Hybels

A bias for action. When in doubt, do something!  We're not called by God to fundamentally...to simply play defense. We are supposed to be gaining territory.  The Great Commission says, there is this message, get it out there and spread it! So my bias is that leaders ought to get up in the morning and say, 'what yardage can we make' and not get up in the morning with a fear mentality of how do we protect the homefront. You got to move the ball up field. And you gotta have that we're playing offense mentality. --Bill Hybels, Senior Pastor, Willow Creek Community Church, South Barrington, IL
