That the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.

2 Timothy 3:17

The highest level of leadership competency never happens without a plan.

This past week, I marveled at our Small Group Bible Study leader. We were looking at some leaders from the Old Testament and how God trained them up through trials and hardship to be effective in leading others. He was reciting story after story of Old Testament leaders as if he himself had walked the earth with them. When asked how he was so knowledgeable about these facts, he quickly said, “Well, I study Scripture every day!”

An intentional plan of development, towards the highest level of competency.

What is your plan?

What is your plan for your own personal development this year? And what is your plan for investing in the development your people in 2018?

If you are located in the Minnesota area, I encourage you to consider the Triune Leadership Services Leadership RoundTable (LRT). Beginning on March 9 in Willmar and on March 13 in Alexandria, LRT will provide you with a concrete, actionable model of servant leadership based on the master servant leader, Jesus.

You will be supported to understand exactly how to bring your faith into how you lead, so that you can begin drawing out the God-given potential of yourself and others. Here are just a few experiences from recent participants:

The LRT is life-transforming training. It helps articulate leadership skills you have, and ones you need. It is excellent on so many levels. Every leader in every community will benefit.

LRT was a great program for me to ask some very difficult, but important questions about myself as a leader. The environment is open and it is a comfortable place to make you vulnerable to the point of humility.

LRT is not just a random class with topics that are dated. It is constantly adapting to the ever-changing work and business climate. I learned more about my leadership strengths and shortcomings here than anywhere else. Couple that with measuring servant leadership against that of Christ really gives you something great to aspire to.

We’re already well in to 2018. Have you built development plans for your team members yet?
