174                                 THE BIBLE ON LEADERSHIP


                 People are inspired by leaders who are realistic about the
                  obstacles but challenge them anyway.

                 Stand firm in your beliefs—most honest conflicts can be
                  resolved and the commitment of both parties strengthened as a
                  result.

                 When it’s a ‘‘close call’’ between risk and safety, leaders go for
                  the risk.

                 When you’re hitting difficult short-tem obstacles,
                  remembering your long-term goal creates courage.
                 Adversity energizes and motivates the courageous leader, but
                  quickly ‘‘quenches the fire’’ of those who lack courage.
                 People (and turtles) rarely get anywhere without extending
                  their necks.
