A Few Thoughts on Leadership

< 1 min read

Leadership

It’s always a great experience being with our friends from Chick-fil-A.  Right now, I’m at their national conference in Washington D.C.    Andy Stanley just spoke on leadership.  Here are a few quotes on leadership from Andy that I’d like to share to you:

  • “The less you do the more you’ll accomplish.”
  • “The less you do, the more you’ll enable others to accomplish.”
  • “Only do what only you can do.”
  • “Great leadership is about getting things done through other people who get things done through other people.”

As you can see, Andy’s overall message was for you, leaders to focus exclusively on your strengths, your core competencies, what only you can do…delegate every other thing and every other decision to someone else on your team.  Two caveats: 1. If you are a start up or developing organization, you may not be able to do this initially.  2.  These principles apply in a business setting, not at home!
