"A Little Over your Head"


I was talking to few of my friends yesterday on the subject of leadership . . in my readings I came across a simple question that was asked of one of the churches new names in church leadership . . .

The Question: How do you develop leaders at your church?

The Answer: He simply said "the way you develop leaders is to put people in opportunities that are a little over their head then coach them as they take action" (paraphrased).

We talked for about 30 minutes on this subject . . .it tickled the ears of those who heard, but I'm waiting for the action . . . .

As we dialogue, it was pointed out that the three things are needed when we get over our head . . God, others and good swimming coach . . .or . . a leadership coach would do.

So, I'm waiting . . .. the coach is on the deck . . do you want to jump in?

Have a Great Day

David
