Andy Stanley

Category: Uncategorized

Several weeks ago, Mike Linch, asked me if I would like to sit in one of their leadership meetings with about 40 people and Andy Stanley. I decided it would be worth my time :)
Andy talked about some of the quotes that he has sitting around his office that have challenged him recently…

1. “When your memories exceed your dreams - the end is near.”

2. “The next generation product almost never comes from the previous generation. Act early, develop a totally new product and give the product a new name.”

* And no, he wasn’t talking about the gospel. Save your email.

3. “To reach people who haven’t been reached we will need to do things that others aren’t doing”.

He said that the limit to our leadership and forward thinking is 90% emotional.

4. “What do I believe is impossible to do in my field, but if it could be done - would fundamentally change my business.”

5. “If we got kicked out and the board got a new CEO. What would he do? Why don’t we walk out the door, come back in and do it.”

I will take the time to give a lot more thought on a few of these quotes in the days ahead, but for now, a huge thank you goes out to Mike for bringing us to the table and to Andy for taking the time to speak into all of our lives…
