Modify Your Dream

I have this quote written inside the front cover of my journal: Modify your dream; not of what you’ll do, but of who you’ll be.

I didn’t write down the author of this quote, so at the risk of plagiarism, let me expand.

People care more about your character than your accomplishments. People care more about the kind of person you are than the kind of leader you are. If you’re a great leader with a lousy personality, you won’t succeed. If you’re an average leader with character, integrity and personality, you’ll be successful.

Integrity counts.  Character counts.  People skills count.  The greatest leadership skill is people skills.  More leaders fail for lack of people skills than for lack of competency. God cares more about what you are than what you do. 

Proverbs 29 says:  When the godly are in authority, the people rejoice.
