Bill Hybels, senior pastor of Willow Creek Community Church near Chicago, Illinois.

• “Leaders move people from here to there.”
• People need to hear “we can’t stay here” speeches to catch vision for the future.
• “Your job is to convince people ‘we cannot stay here.’”
• “It takes fantastic if your going to move an organization from here to there. You can’t do it alone.”
• “One of the joys of leadership is knitting together teams of fantastic people.”
• “What kind of person flourishes in our unique culture?” (Something Bill looks for in people in addition to character, chemistry and competency.)
• “How do you inspire people to stay on the journey from here to there?”
• “Refill their vision bucket. Everyone’s vision bucket leaks.”
• “You have to celebrate every mile-marker you possibly can on the way to the destination.”
• “I think God still speaks to you every single day.”
• “The smartest moves I’ve made as a leader didn’t come from my human wisdom.”
