DEVELOPING LEADERSHIP

It never happens accidentally. The church could learn some lessons from the sports world. Scouts for the team are always looking for potential players. Then there is an investment in a prospect, an invitation to a training camp and ultimately an opportunity offer. Intentional leadership development done now secures the future. It accepts that the leadership team will change over time. It presupposes an understanding that leadership is not “holding onto power”. Leaders are groomed. Invite – Invest – Inspire – Impact. Did Jesus know anything about this?
