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.
