development

Understanding who you are, how you are seen by others, and what you were designed to do is foundational for leadership confidence, and ultimately for leadership effectiveness and development.

I’ve seen so many potentially great leaders waste opportunities because they were waiting for the perfect scenario before they began to develop as a leader.

A church leader expends great effort and energy in developing other disciples. We do so on a micro level of individual discipling and training. We do it on a macro level of developing a churchwide system for moving people from unbelief to globally-engaged disciples.

The best preachers are those who feel as if they are constantly in preaching training.

Lee Coate, the executive pastor in charge of ministry and media at The Crossing Christian Church in Las Vegas, talks about building strong church teams.

Leadership development is similar to a house in that the foundation is essential to the process and the outcomes. What is underneath the surface makes all the difference.

For all elders of any position the primary job is to actively shepherd the people of the church.

“Our job as pastors is to develop people. When you get to heaven, your legacy is not going to be something you’ve done; it’s going to be the people that you’ve developed.”
