4 more ways I continually grow as a leader
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,
