You literally cannot make this journey alone–your tribe will either help you or prevent your forward movement. In fact, you can move forward only by bringing others with you…As you move forward either you will become a Tribal Leader–upgrading your tribe with you–or you will stall.
(From Dave Logan’s book “Tribal Leadership“)
Leaders are readers and so today I want to point out a few key blog posts that I have read recently that have impacted my leadership greatly. I hope they have a HUGE impact on your leadership as well as we make an impact in our world.
Make the Ball Come to You
Written by Steven Furtick
Great leaders know how to make the ball come to them. They work hard, yes, but they work hard to make it as easy on themselves as possible. They develop systems that get five times more work done than they could do on their own. They outsource their weaknesses through delegation. They create effective teams that produce a synergy of progress. Click here to read more …
The Four Disciplines of the Heart
Written by Michael Hyatt

In times of adversity and temptation, a healthy heart is essential to survival. How can leaders cultivate a healthy heart? Click here to read more …
Good Leaders Will Always Frustrate You
Written by Jeff Goins
A friend once said: “Your best leaders will always frustrate you.” He was talking about leadership and vision and delegation. I’ve been thinking about those words ever since he said them — about how I respond to leadership and about how I lead and influence others. Click here to read more …
Lead Like Jesus
Written by Steven Furtick
Leadership isn’t letting people stay comfortable. Leadership isn’t being easy on your team. Leadership isn’t speaking in nice generalities and letting crap go by without calling people on it.

The Five Marks of Authentic Leadership
Written by Michael Hyatt

“I have been an Andy fan for a long time and more recently started tuning in to what Craig and LifeChurch are doing…absolutely loved how despite the size of the crowd, much of what they communicated felt like a one on one conversation. This speaks to their ability to communicate but also relates to the incredibly relevant topics that were brought to the table.”

“Andy and Craig get it. They get it, and they also know how leadership can be used by God to solve the problems we face as church leaders. Catalyst One Day is extremely practical for leaders committed to seeing the church really work and grow in a broken world.”
Brad Russell
Dulles Community Church
South Riding, VA
“The topics were very practical and relevant to ministry issues today, and the presentations were outstanding. I wish every leader in our church could have attended.”
Scott Brown

“The exchange between Andy and Craig was outstanding. It was great seeing two accomplished leaders who are being used by God in tremendous ways, but have very different approaches to ministry and their personal leadership style.”
Scott Himes

“Obviously the Catalyst event in Atlanta is always amazing, but a oneday event is a perfect idea as well. It saved money for hotels, food, and travel. We got hammered with quality leadership in one day, and that night I was at home in bed. The entire experience was incredible.”

This morning, Pastor Brandon shared with us about our potential and how we are God’s Masterpiece. The following skit by “The Skit Guys” was shown. Between Pastor Brandon’s message and this skit my life was impacted greatly and I am sure hundreds of others were impacted as well.
Watch this … to the end.
This past week I was blessed to be able to attend the Global Leadership Summit. I believe that this years summit was the best and most powerful summit yet. With phenomenal people speaking like Cory Booker, Steven Furtick, Seth Godin and many more. Below are a few things that I took away from the summit that I believe are life changing.
“If you want a different tomorrow, you must be willing to do things you did not do yesterday” @CoryBooker
“If you can’t predict the future, create it.” –Len Schlesinger
“God doesn’t give you the faith to finish what he calls you to; he gives faith to start it.” @stevenfurtick
“I’d rather deal with anger than apathy.” @m_rhee
“To love is to give, to give until it hurts.” –Mama Maggie Gobran
“I’m just dumb enough to believe God can do anything.” @stevenfurtick
“If the vision isn’t overwhelming to you, it’s probably insulting to God.” @stevenfurtick
“I don’t know a single leader who ever regretted taking a tough assignment from God.” @billhybels
“Humility is the noble choice to forgo your status and use your influence for the good of others before yourself.” @johnpauldickson
“An ordinary human has never been born. But most of us die as tragically ordinary humans.” @erwinmcmanus
What did you take away from The Global Leadership Summit this past week? Anything that was said stick with you?
