Introduction • Success is Succession. • What are the five things that need to be passed on? • Competence: Channel energy to areas I am most likely to excel in. • Courage: The leader is the one with the courage to initiate, set things in motion and move ahead. • Clarity: Uncertain times require clear directives to avoid paralysis. • Coaching: Without a good coach you will never be as good as you could be. • Character: You can lead without character, but you will not be worth following.
Competence – Do Less and Accomplish More! • You are doing too much “The Secret of Concentration is Elimination” Howard Hendricks • Doing the right things “You are most valuable where you add the most value” John Maxwell • Finding your Groove “Devoting a little of yourself to everything means committing a lot of yourself to nothing.”
Courage: Establishes Leadership • First In “Only those leaders who act boldly in times of crisis and change are willingly followed.” Jim Kouzes • Just a stone's throw away So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10 • Expressions of Courage When leaders stop dreaming, followers stop following!
Clarity: Uncertainty demands Clarity • Leading in the Shadow of Uncertainty “The goal of leadership is not to eradicate uncertainty but rather to navigate it.” • I'll tell you when we get there “You can't hold people responsible for things that are not clear. If you're unwilling to make decisions with limited information, you can't achieve clarity.” • Managing Your Uncertainty “Uncertainty is not your enemy. Uncertainty provides you unimaginable opportunities in the future.”
Coaching – Enables a leader to go farther faster • Listening, Learning To be the best next generation leader you can be, you must enlist the help of others. You need a leadership coach. • The King who wouldn't listen Let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance. Proverbs 1:5 • What coaches do Coaches focus on future possibilities, not past mistakes.
Character – Determines a Leader's Legacy • A Non-Essential Character is the will to do what is right even when it is hard. • The King who followed Character is not made in crisis – it is only exhibited • The Leader worth following Your gifts will open doors. Character will handle what lies behind the doors.
