The Law of Timing
When To Lead Is As Important As What to Do and Where To Go. Every time a Leader makes a move, there are really only four outcomes.
1.The Wrong Action At The Wrong Time Leads To Disaster. You will experience negative repercussions every time.
2.The Right Action At The Wrong Time Brings Resistance.
3.The Wrong Action At The Right Time Is A Mistake.
4.The Right Action At The Right Time Results In Success.
Good Leadership timing requires a number of factors:
- Understanding – having a grasp of the situation
- Maturity – This needs no explanation
- Confidence – Be confident in God’s calling and leading in your life for others to follow you with confidence
- Experience – Wisdom is a byproduct, you will have a difficult time leading without it
The Law of Explosive Growth
To Add Growth, Lead Followers – To Multiply, Lead Leaders
Becoming a leader who develops leaders requires an entirely different focus and attitude from simply attracting and leading followers. It takes a different mind-set. If you develop yourself, you can experience personal success. If our develop your team, your organization can experience growth. If you develop leaders, your organization can achieve explosive growth.
A Different Focus….
Leaders Who Attract Followers – Need To Be Needed
Leaders Who Develop Leaders – Want To Be Succeeded
Leaders Who Attract Followers – Develop The Bottom 20%
Leaders Who Develop Leaders – Develop The Top 20%
Leaders Who Attract Followers – Focus on Weaknesses
Leaders Who Develop Leaders – Focus on Strengths
Leaders Who Attract Followers – Treat Everyone The Same
Leaders Who Attract Leaders – Treat Individuals Differently
Leaders Who Attract Followers – Spend Time With Others
Leaders Who Attract Leaders – Invest Time With Others
Leaders Who Attract Followers – Grow By Addition
Leaders Who Attract Leaders – Grow By Multiplication
Leaders Who Attract Followers – Impact Only People They Touch
Leaders Who Develop Leaders – Impact People Beyond Their Reach
Leadership development compounds. The more you invest in people, the greater the growth and the higher the return!
The Law of Legacy
A Leaders Lasting Value Is Measured by Succession
What is your life sentence? I have adopted this one; I want to make a difference with people who make a difference! This mantra came into focus as I began to understand that most people do not lead their lives, they simply accept their lives and call it FATE! You have to be intentional in developing your leadership legacy.
Know The Legacy You Want To Leave Behind – Your life is a book. The Title is your name. The Preface is your introduction to the world. The pages are daily journal entries of your activity.
Live The Legacy You Want To Leave – In order to leave something behind, you must first live your legacy
Choose Who Will Carry your Legacy – succession is one of the key responsibilities of leadership(Max Dupree). Great organizations will function well beyond you!
Make Sure You Pass The Baton – any person can make an organization shine for a moment. Leaders who leave a legacy take a different approach. Elton Trueblood stated; “We have made a least a start in discovering the meaning in human life, when we plant shade trees under which we know full well we will never sit.”
