Orrin Woodward Leadership Team

Welcome to my leadership blog. Ideas have consequences and the goal of this blog is to discuss ideas of consequence. Some ideas you may agree with and some you may disagree. No worries. The only rules are that you post under your own name and that you think and discuss in a civil manner. People who attack others only prove they have reached the limit of their logic. The Bible states, "Iron sharpens iron" and we will sharpen one another by what we read, write and think. The goal of this blog is to help us identify and follow truth in all areas of our lives. I encourage you to join our leadership discussion and transform yourself and others through the renewing of our minds.

USA Today - Money Book List - Number 1

by Orrin Woodward on Fri 30 Nov 2007 09:42 AM EST | Permanent Link | Cosmos

I have been saying it for years, but it is nice to see mainstream media recognize the incredible leaders of the Team. Thanks to the efforts of so many individuals sharing the Launching a Leadership Revolution by word of mouth the book hit Number 1 on the USA Today Money List last week. Here is a cache shot. I can't find the archive page. (Ok so I am internet challenged!) I am so proud of everyone for doing their personal best. My lifelong goal is to repay this debt of gratitude with my personal best effort as a leader and mentor. Chris and I salute all of you! God Bless, Orrin Woodward

Orrin,

This is such a great reward for 2 awesome servant leaders! Thanks go out to you and Chris for being a river of knowledge and sharing your wisdom with all of us instead of being a reservoir and keeping it for yourselves!! You both are truly great leaders and because of your and Chris's example, everyday I grow prouder and prouder of being a Teammate on the TEAM. Just like you; my goal is to keep growing and learning so one day I can pay back the debt of gratitude to you and the rest of the PC and RT members for your sacrifices to the greater good of the TEAM!

Look forward to shaking hands with you one day!

Best,

Matt

Thanks for the unbelievable compliment Orrin!! You have no idea what that means to me! However having multiple examples and mentors like yourself make growing and learning a helpful thing that should be done instead of a hurtful thing that must be done! Thanks for always showing us how to make our contribution greater than our applause!

Best,

Matt

Everytime the LLR is regognized for the excellent work that it is, I have pride and confidence in the two of you as leaders. Visionaries that have taken the steps required to achieve greatness. This inspires us beyond our own thoughts of potential to a place of knowing we can tap into abundance of thought, spirit and strength. Reading the "Centurian Principals" I can see the next chapter being written by watching you take the lead and allowing us to grow. February is going to be wonderful, but the rest of lives are brighter because of the Lord working through your obedience.

Blessing,

Chris and Mary

Orrin, congratulations!
I love it when time proves great leaders right! Your book is an awesome tool and has helped my wife of 19 years and I in our leadership growth so much. Home, church, work...all have benefited from you teachings. I will continue to repay you and Chris by spreading the word to people we know! Thanks.

Congratulations!
I tell you, this is an exciting time we find ourselves in! Wanted to pass this along... My brother-in-law was at work and one of his co-workers was saying that they like to read as long as it was worth their time, and asked my brother-in-law if he had ever heard of a book called "Launching A Leadership Revolution". He had read about it on the Wall Street Journal and had ordered it but it was on backorder. Well, my brother-in-law, couldn't help but chuckle and say, "As a matter of fact, I have! Let me share some information about these authors. By the way, I can get this book for you pretty easy..."

It's just plain awesome when someone outside our circle of influence recognizes the worthiness of the information contained in your book. We've known it all along, now the nation is finding out. Again congratulations to you and Chris!

God bless,
Steve

Steve, Thank you for sharing. I have heard from so many people that pastors, CEO's, Vice-presidents, HR directors etc. are reading the book and passing it on. God is incredible and what He can do! Keep leading! thanks, Orrin
