QUOTES FROM NEIL ON LEADERSHIP
"Be a 'steward' not an 'owner'."
"Collaborate...do not compete."
"when there are giants around you there are shadows around you, and those shadows are pretty big. And, the thing about those giants is--they're giants for a reason; because they are amazing men-- in their calling, in their character and in their capability and their chemistry to speak to God's people. so those shadows are challenging to come out of, but on the flipside of that, the benefit!"
"Every strength has a backhanded weakness"
