4 more ways I continually grow as a leader

Tom Harper March 11, 2024

Last week I mentioned some ways I acquire wisdom (a never-ending process!)

Here are a few more.

I befriend leaders a few steps ahead of me. I've watched a few people closely for many years. Getting coffee with them is not only enjoyable, it's like a masterclass.
I pass on what I've learned to others. This helps reinforce my own learning.
I read different genres—fiction, nonfiction, biblical commentary, history, biography. Stretches my mind in various directions.
I remember my own sinfulness.The Lord has a way of allowing humbling circumstances into my life that result from pride or some other sin. Humility is an absolute necessity to personal growth.

Lastly, I stay in the game. In other words, if I neglect to be intentional about my growth, I stagnate. I know this from experience!

Moving forward with you,

Be diligent in these matters; give yourself wholly to them,
so that everyone may see your progress.
—1 Timothy 4:15
