I like this one: Follow through on commitments made. The quickest way to lose trust is to say one thing and do another. Likewise, do not make commitments you cannot keep.

Leaders are often in denial about this one. And, followers are outraged by it (and they have memories of steel when it comes to remembering what you "didn't" do). Very tough to recover from a few of these.

My favorite saying: Talk don't cook rice. (Chinese proverb)

Great article. Leadership really is learned by doing. If we don’t make changes, we will not see a healthier growth of our communities and ministries.

great article. getting ready for some change ourselves. would like to make one comment about point 7. change should be part of the culture, but too much change too often can leave your leaders' heads spinning. most change requires time for ppl to accept and time to work out the bugs. just use wisdom, and be sure to give some breathing room between changes. =)
