Quotes by James Hunter
Thoughts become actions, actions become habits, habits become our character, and our character becomes our destiny.
Leadership: The skill of influencing people to work enthusiastically toward goals identified as being for the common good.
As leaders we do not create growth. The best we can do is create an environment that is conducive to growth. It is like planting a garden. You do not cause the seeds to grow. To grow is their natural purpose in life.
Leadership is not about personality, possessions, or charisma, but all about who you are as a person. I used to believe that leadership was about style but now I know that leadership is about substance, namely character.
Power: The ability to force or coerce someone to do your will, even if they would choose not to, because of your position or your might.
...leaders who do not hold their people accountable to a set standard are, in effect, thieves and liars. Thieves because they are stealing from the stockholder who pays them to hold people accountable, and liars because they pretend that everything is OK with their people when in fact everything is not OK.
There is great joy in leading with authority, which is serving others by meeting their legitimate needs.
Authority: The skill of getting people to willingly do your will, because of your personal influence.
