INTRODUCTION
For over seven decades, writing has occupied the center ground of my life and thought.
Lord Bacon said, Writing makes an exact man.
He spoke the truth.
Writing produces exactitude by forcing you to set down ideas in logical relation to one another. Writing crystallizes your thoughts and makes your ideas specific.
At crucial times, I have locked myself away from human company in order to write.
The globe-encircling ministry of Haggai Institute took shape in the Bali Beach Intercontinental Hotel. I shut the door to my room and applied myself single-mindedly to the business of committing my thoughts to paper. For two days I did nothing but scribble on a yellow legal pad.
Later I devoted four years to writing a book that contains the basis of my thinking about leadership.
Writing matters. It is the most potent way in which language can transmit invisible thoughts from one mind to another.
So when Bob Hawkins Jr. of Harvest House Publishers suggested that I bring together a distillation of ideas on leadership for this volume, I immediately agreed.
The words on the following pages come from a range of my books and writings, including the private circular Notes From My Diary, which I send only to a group of close associates.
Beyond that, these words are rooted in more than a hundred journeys around the world, innumerable meetings with the world’s truly great leaders, and decades of personal reflection and application.
Each thought in the pages that follow is a tiny lens through which you will see more clearly the quality and direction of your own leadership.
Each page will cost you just sixty seconds of reading and reflection. Some may keep you thinking to the end of the day. Some—as I have found—you may still be wrestling with to the end of your life.
Attempt something so great for God, it’s doomed to failure unless God be in it.
HAGGAI’S LAWS
Leadership is the discipline of deliberately exerting special influence within a group to move it toward goals of beneficial permanence that fulfill the group’s real needs.
THE INFLUENTIAL LEADER
Hurry is symptomatic of a weakly organized mind.
HOW TO WIN OVER WORRY
Today’s attitude is tomorrow’s reality.
HAGGAI’S LAWS
When I first talked about goal setting, I laid great emphasis on making the goals realistic. Only a couple of years ago, after a lifetime of setting goals, did it occur to me that I’d never set a realistic goal in my
