Craig Groeschel Leadership Quotes

If you delegate tasks, you create followers, if you delegate authority , you create leaders

If you want your ministry to have ‘it’, more important than anything else we’ve discussed, you must have ‘it’. When it has filtered through your heart - the rare combination of passion, integrity, focus, faith, expectation, drive, hunger, and God’s anointing - God tends to infuse your ministry with ‘it’. He blesses your work. People are changed. Leaders grow. Resources flow. The ministry seems to take on a life of its own.

You don’t need a title in order to lead. If you want to influence people, care about them. Love them. Help them improve. People will follow a leader with a heart faster than a leader with a title.

Instead of sacrificing for the cause of Christ, people appeared to be consuming, not contributing.

Clearly determine your values, because when your values are clear, your decisions are easier.

To be great at a few things and experience it, you have to say no to many things.

A ministry that doesn’t have it simply follows the formula they used the year before and the year before that. People are bored, uninspired, and complacent. When a church doesn’t have it, the staff is simply doing a job, drawing a paycheck, passing time. They’re territorial. Jealous. Dissatisfied. Discontented. Even bitter.

Ministries that have it always have a clear vision

Leaders with it do more than just think of new ideas; they actually do the new ideas.

Without vision, people perish. Without direction, people drift. Without a goal, motivation wanes. Without a mission, ministries fade. Youth groups lose their life. Once-vibrant churches slowly die. We need a clear and compelling vision that is constantly and enthusiastically communicated.
