FURTHER QUOTATIONS ON
PERCEPTIVE LEADERSHIP
1. DISCERNMENT:
- ...we immediately begin to rationalize – tell ourselves “rational
lies”...^7
- According to Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., leadership is “the capacity
to move, inspire, and mobilize masses of people.”^ Former U.S.
Supreme Court Justice Arthur Goldberg defines leadership as
“great ability and great opportunity greatly employed – an art,
not a science and largely intuitive.”^8
- ...every fact is preceded by a feeling and if we rightly employ
our discernment, we can affect the facts by understanding the
feelings that precede the facts...^9
- OPPORTUNITY:
- I’ve heard it said that wherever there is danger, there lurks
opportunity. I’d rather live in the face of fear knowing that
God will be with me every step of the way than to shrink back
and miss an opportunity to serve Him because of all the what-
ifs: What if I get shot? What if they turn their backs? What
if they don’t listen to me? What if the money runs out? 10
