Leadership Development Thought #5

Here is the final thought for preparation for this weekend’s message at Next Level Church.

     At Next Level Church, we believe in Real-Time, On-the-field development of leaders. However, just giving leaders experiences to test and try their leadership is not enough. We’re constantly coming behind leadership opportunities and dissecting them with our leaders. It’s not enough to just go through something. The key is to maximize learning from whatever it is you just went through.

     If we can get maximum learning from any given experience, before, during and after, that’s what we’re looking for. We believe that’s how leaders are developed effectively. We try and set leaders up before they lead, we walk with them while they’re leading, and we debrief on the back end to get the most out of what they experienced.

     Examining experience yields the most value when it comes to leadership development.
