In this podcast we will focus on:

The Law of Explosive Growth

To Add Growth, Lead Followers – To Multiply, Lead Leaders

Consider the following 7 comparisons:

1. Leaders who attract followers need to be needed

Leaders who develop leaders want to be successful

• You may feel important and needed, but that is a shallow reason to pursue leadership in any organization

2. Leaders who attract followers develop the bottom 20%

Leaders who develop leaders develop the top 20%

• The weakest in your organization to dominate 80% of your time. The best leaders invest 80% of their time in the best among them for a far greater return

3. Leaders who attract followers focus on weaknesses

Leaders who develop leaders focus on strengths

• The bottom 20% struggle with their weaknesses continually. However when you invest yourself in the top performers you build on their strengths.

4. Leaders who attract followers treat everyone the same

Leaders who develop leaders treat individuals differently

• “For the sake of fairness” produces more goof-off’s than leaders. Reward achievement thus raising the bar of quality and accomplishment.

5. Leaders who attract followers spend time with others

Leaders who develop leaders invest time in others

• This is an issue of “being liked” versus developing other people to achieve.

6. Leaders who attract followers grow by addition

Leaders who develop leaders grow by multiplication

• Add 10 followers to your organization and you have the power of 10 people. Add 10 leaders to your organization and you have the power of 10 leaders times all of the followers and leaders they influence.

7. Leaders who attract followers impact only people they touch

Leaders who develop leaders impact people beyond their reach

• Developing followers is exhausting because you must focus on every single person that followers. However when you develop leaders your reach goes far beyond the personal touch. By developing one your influence the many!

The Law of Legacy

A Leaders Lasting Value Is Measure By Succession

If you had to write a “life sentence” that describes your purpose, what would you write? This goal in a sentence may shift in different seasons of life. Write it out today. Do not become like most people who simply accept their lives instead of leading it!

I would suggest 4 steps on working on your legacy:

1. Know the legacy you want to leave
2. Leave the legacy you want to leave
3. Choose who will carry out your legacy
4. Make sure you pass the baton
