Discernment

John Maxwell – “Discernment goes deeper than knowledge, resembling intuition. At times, discernment is a gift; at other times, it results from much experience. Discernment brings a profound perception of what is occurring, either on the outside or the inside of a person.”

Lifting People

"The strong man does not prove how strong he is by standing on top of a stack of weights; he demonstrates his strength by showing how much weight he can lift. Neither does an effective leader prove anything by putting people down. Leaders are weightlifters." - J. Mark Jordan Living and Leading in Ministry, p. 46
