More quotes by Bill Hybels
When you get to the end will God say, Well done, or, What was up with that?
Bill Hybels
It helps certain church leaders identify the fact that they have the spiritual gift of leadership that the Bible talks about in Romans 12:8. Once you understand that God has given a gift, then training becomes more seriously. When you receive better training, you become more effective in the leadership position that God has assigned to you.

Vision is a picture of the future that produces passion.
Bill Hybels
Effective leaders do not fear passion. They welcome it. But from time to time passionate discussions digress into personal attacks, and real people get really hurt. In my view, leaders must head that off before it happens.

The Lord's Prayer is an excellent model, but it was never intended to be a magical incantation to get God's attention. Jesus gave this prayer as a pattern to suggest the variety of elements that should be included when we pray.
Bill Hybels
I would never want to reach out someday with a soft, uncallused hand-a hand never dirtied by serving-and shake the nail-pierced hand of Jesus.

The more varied the environments in which you exercise your leadership gift, the stronger that gift will become. You will become a far more effective leader.

Leadership requires a non-stop demand of fortitude from Day 1 to the end.

Authentic Christianity is a supernatural walk with a living, dynamic, communicating God.

Every single decision you make as a leader has an effect on the spirit of those you lead.

People won't give their best unless their leader challenges them to do so.

If we were to boil down Christianity to its core, we'd be left with simply this: relationship with God. The living, loving God of the universe has spoken throughout history, and still speaks today - not just to pastors or priests, but to anyone who will listen. God will speak to you.

Enjoy every single day you get to lead because it will be over in a blink.
Bill Hybels
If you’re a serious minded leader, you will read. You will read all you can. You will read when you feel like it, and you will read when you don’t. You will do whatever you have to do to increase your leadership input, because you know as well as I do that it will make you better.
Bill Hybels
If there is ever a time crying out for courageous leadership, its now.
Bill Hybels
I hate thinking about it, teaching about it, and writing about it. But the plain truth is that hell is real and real people go there for eternity.
Bill Hybels
You can live and lead small, live and lead safe, live and lead selfishly, or you can pursue a grander vision.
Bill Hybels
A leader's most valuable asset is not their time but their energy and ability to energize others.
Bill Hybels
Prayerless people cut themselves off from God's prevailing power, and the frequent result is the familiar feeling of being overwhelmed, overrun, beaten down, pushed around, defeated. Surprising numbers of people are willing to settle for lives like that.

Storms draw something out of us that calm seas don't.
