COACHING for CLARITY thoughts
John Maxwell taught us that there are leadership lids that limit our capacity as leaders.
The good news is we can learn how to lift those lids in order to rise above those limitations that keep us leading at a low capacity.
Here are 7 leadership lid lifters that will definitely catapult you as you go for the NEXT 1000:
- Never Accept Average – Words such as ordinary, typical, usual, status quo are the results of leaders that are on cruise control. Above average leaders have their foot on the gas pedal of their organizations and are always looking for ways to improve things and push things forward bringing life and energy to their environment. Average leaders often times have their foot on the brake, killing the momentum of their organization and any excitement associated with anything new that will cause the life and vision of the organization to unfold.
- Refuse to be Comfortable – Leaders grow the most when the deliberately put themselves in uncomfortable situations. Sometimes the uncomfortable means stepping out in your weakness and acknowledging that there are others who could help you or do it better than you and allowing them to do it. On other occasions it’s doing something different than everyone else is doing.
- Insist on Integrity – Life is too short to put up with people that have no integrity. A leader without integrity has fallen into self-deception and will only lead an organization into the ground.
- Rub Shoulders with High Capacity Leaders – Connecting with high capacity leaders is essential if you want to lift your lid as a leader. If you are frustrated with where you are at as a leader and the status of where your organization is, find a leader leading an organization at the level where you want to be and learn from them. In today’s social media world you can connect easily with leaders that are looking to pour into your life as a leader. Make that call, send the tweet, leave a comment on their blog. Rubbing shoulders might not begin with a face to face, but when you take the initiative to connect it can open a door to get you to your desired destination.
- Replace Yourself – If you are not raising up a person to replace you, you are ignoring one of the signs of great leadership; the ability to develop others around you. Lifting your leadership lid requires not being threatened by the leaders coming behind you, placed below you, or who have went before you. If insecurity is keeping you from duplicating yourself you are failing the litmus test of leadership. If you don’t know who is your successor there you will not have true leadership success.
- Be a Life Long Learner – If you fail to keep learning you will fail to keep leading. When you get to a place where you think you know it all, you won’t grow at all!
- Here are several things I do to make sure I’m always learning.
- Have a Regular Devotional Life
- Regularly Read the Greatest Book Ever Written (The Bible)
- Read Books about Topics you are Passionate About (Biographies, Doctrinal, Strategy, Investments, Leadership, Trends)
- Blog and Interact with other Bloggers
- Listen and Learn a lot from Podcasts
- Meet with another Leader at Least Once a Month
- Realize that the Ultimate LID LIFTER is Papa God Himself!
- Do not forget, Jesus said, YOU ARE THE SALT OF THE EARTH and YOU ARE THE LIGHT of the WORLD! He believes in you! YOU ARE HIS representative here on earth! YOU ARE appointed to BE THIS… now!
------------
YOU cannot BE a Pastor of 1000 people if you are employing ideas and methods of pastoring only a HUNDRED!
Your MIND, WORDS, ACTS, PRAYERS and BEHAVIOR must change!
This includes the BOOKS you read and the PEOPLE you hang out with.
------------
YOU must LEAD LEADGROUPS instead of LIFEGROUPS.
A LEAD Group is composed of LifeGroup Leaders who has the passion to make quality disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ.
------------
YOU must READ Books and Articles on HOW to Pastor the Multitudes.
Multitudes and LARGE groups are only led through TEAMS of shepherds that believe the Vision together with you.
------------
YOU must 1st be a LEADER of LEADERS
Grow leaders under you that will disciple others.
Grow leaders under you that will teach others.
YOU must 1st be a LEADER of LEADERS
Grow leaders under you that will organize CrossOvers without you!!!
did you get that? WITHOUT YOU :-)
