2018 Leadership Summit – 11 Leadership Quotes from T.D. Jakes

by

Every year, my team and I attend the leadership summit. To capture what I’m learning and to help you grow as a leader, I always share my notes from each session, so be sure to check back after each session and bookmark them for future use.

The second session featured a talk from one of the best communicators, T.D. Jakes.

The following are some takeaways:

  1. You want a vision that brings out the best in you.
  2. A vision should sound ridiculous until you do it.
  3. If you don’t believe in anything crazy, you will never find out what you could be.
  4. You think something you can’t tell anyone because it’s so big. Something beyond your means. Takes you out of your comfort zone and scares you to death.
  5. Too many people have to see their way clear before they get started.
  6. It doesn’t matter where you start, it matters where you finish.
  7. Visions start in small places.
  8. Sometimes you build the idea in the wrong place. Visions need the right wind.
  9. So much of what we learn is about winning but what stimulates growth is losing.
  10. What did you learn from your last failure and how has it prepared you to soar?
  11. To believe that something is possible is what makes greatness.

My Notes from One on One with T.D. Jakes at the Leadership Summit 2016

leadership

I’m at the leadership summit with the team from Revolution Church. This is by far the best leadership conference of the year. This is my 13th summit and every year, God stretches me and challenges me. So much wisdom and inspiration wrapped up into two days. I always blog my notes, so if you can’t attend or missed something, I’ve got you covered.

Here are some takeaways from the interview with T.D. Jakes:

  • We get trapped by titles and how people describe us and stop seeking.
  • We let people put a period on our lives where God has put a comma.
  • The key is to find the common denominator between the things you do.
  • If you aren’t doing anything that scares you, you’re not growing yourself.
  • You can’t go through the door of destiny without going through the hallway of haters.
  • Your job is not to get haters on board.
  • You are no greater than the people you put around you.
  • The art of managing things is to not miss the same thing twice.
  • If you have to hold it to have, you didn’t hire the right people.
  • Whenever something is overwhelming, it means I need to restructure.
  • The hard part of leadership is not figuring out where to go, but what am I willing to let go of to get there.

  • If you can accomplish something on your own, your dream is too small.
  • If you give a person a strategy, it is better than a check.
