There are so many areas we can grow in leadership, where we can pour our time, yet if we are not healthy personally, it will all fall flat. It can be difficult to get past this, but this must always be a starting point for healthy leadership.Eric Belzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13985189854677004955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97981409741282294.post-65406364758921577472009-02-01T16:27:00.000-06:002009-02-01T16:27:00.000-06:00I appreciate the point on developing future leader...I appreciate the point on developing future leaders. I've seen many strong leaders who have missed that area - and then struggle when they need to move on because no one is there to step up in there place. These 5 points provide a check list of what to look for in a future leader. Just because someone is good with administration does not mean they will make a strong, strategic leader (and vice versa). Thanks for helping leaders know what to look for in their successor.<BR/><BR/>babette.watterson@efca.orgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97981409741282294.post-38993768528984745702009-02-01T14:52:00.000-06:002009-02-01T14:52:00.000-06:00I love your 5 points but especailly point 2: Strat...I love your 5 points but especailly point 2: Strategic Leadership. Without seeking results we are only marking time. Strategic leadership is about leading the way: consistantly and with expectations.

It's so true that Church's and organizations don't take the time to see someone with a gift of leadership and "take them under their wing" and develop them to be a leader in that Church or Org. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Martin.Pagano@efca.orgg039260https://www.blogger.com/profile/01109823411936535715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97981409741282294.post-33547027363664179342009-01-26T22:07:00.000-06:002009-01-26T22:07:00.000-06:00Each area described is crucial to be able to lead ...Each area described is crucial to be able to lead well.

I think we as leaders so often feel that we have to do so much ourselves that we get bogged down with the minute details and we forget the big picture. More often than not we are surrounded by people capable of helping out with the administration of the team...what we need is to be free from those entanglments to lead with vision.carrie_hihohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18109102063775106158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97981409741282294.post-51072642005437586482008-07-17T14:01:00.000-05:002008-07-17T14:01:00.000-05:00I just finished an "intentional living course" so ...I just finished an "intentional living course" so #1Personal Development is fresh in my mind. Without keeping this at the top of a leaders priorities, everything else he/she does will be effected. It is also a great model to the people the leader is leading. In my own life, when I struggle to lead, I can always look back at "#1" and understand why I am probably struggling.<BR/>-BumAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
