Challenges Quote by Andy Stanley
“A leader is someone who has the courage to say publicly what everybody else is whispering privately. It is not his insight that sets the leader apart from the crowd. It is his courage to act and speak up when everyone else is silent…are those who would rather challenge what needs to change and pay the price than remain silent and die on the inside.”
