Zitat des Tages von Andy Stanley:
When a plan or strategy fails, people are tempted to assume it was the wrong vision. Plans and strategies can always be changed and improved. But vision doesn't change. Visions are simply refined with time.
People are not on a truth quest; they are on a happiness quest. They will continue to attend your church - even if they don't share your beliefs - as long as they find the content engaging and helpful.
All Scripture is equally inspired, but not all Scripture is equally applicable or relevant to every stage of life.
Leadership is all about taking people on a journey. The challenge is that most of the time, we are asking people to follow us to places we ourselves have never been.
People pray in one direction but they walk in a different direction, and direction always determines where we end up.
A principle is a principle, and God created all the principles.
What people pray for will tell you more than anything else whether they are locked into the vision and priorities of the church.
Uncertainty is not an indication of poor leadership; it underscores the need for leadership.
You cannot communicate complicated information to large groups of people. As you increase the number of people, you have to decrease the complexity of the information.
Success means your options multiply. Size increases complexity, and complexity can confuse vision.
