A good test of a relationship is how a person responds to the word 'no.' Love respects 'no,' control does not.
Henry Cloud
Image
That is why success and fruitfulness depend as much upon focusing on the who you are as much as the what of the work you do. Invest in your character, and it will give you the returns that you are looking for by only investing in the work itself. You can't do the latter without the former.

Oftentimes, churches are started by an entrepreneurial church plant visionary whom everybody follows, but he's not following anybody. Even though he's accountable to a board, he's really not. Authority's a good thing, and if it's not forced upon you as a leader, then I suggest, strongly, that you go buy some.

It’s scary to realize that the only thing holding our friends to us isn’t our performance, or our lovability, or their guilt, or their obligation. The only thing that will keep them calling, spending time with us, and putting up with us is love. And that’s the one thing we can’t control.

It is true that you get what you tolerate.
Henry Cloud
Image
Faith goes beyond reason. It goes beyond what you can see. But it is as real as anything you can touch or feel.
Henry Cloud
Image
The amount of truth a relationship can handle is proportional to the amount of perceived love that's present.
Henry Cloud
Image
When a person travels through a few years with an organization, or with a partnership, or any other kind of working association, he leaves a 'wake' behind in these two areas, task and relationship: what did he accomplish and how did he deal with people?
Henry Cloud
Image
You have to be able to face losing some things you might want in order to be free to do the right thing.
Henry Cloud
Image
Encourage literally came from in courage. The courage is put into you from outside. Our character and abilities grow through internalizing from others what we do not possess in ourselves.
Henry Cloud
Image
The sad thing is that many of us come to Christ because we are sinners, and then spend the rest of our lives trying to pretend that we are not!
Henry Cloud
Image
Spouses in healthy relationships cherish each other's space and are champions of each other's causes.

When leaders lead in ways that people's brains can follow, good results follow as well.
