Leaders Are Extra

A leader is a person who is calling people forward.

Forward progress toward a vision always requires more effort, not less.

Matthew 5:41 If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles.

Leaders go the extra mile.

A good question to ask is: what would my church look like if everyone did just like me.

Exceed your job description.

Vision alone is not enough. Vision requires action.

Two things are essential: a deep personal commitment to excellence in

everything you do and a commitment to continual improvement.

If you want to be extraordinary, you need to stretch yourself above the average person.
