want people that are truthful, honest, vocal and transparent. If someone
asked you a question then provide an open, honest and respectful answer.
Saying yes isn’t always the answer to bring out the best in the situation.
Being honest is what brings about growth and change. It is important to
be authentic. We can understand others better and help them become
their authentic self. Notice the strength and weaknesses of those on your
team. Provide opportunities for them to shine and grow.
D – Leaders develop. People and businesses are always growing and
evolving. We have many opportunities to learn a variety of lessons to
share with the world. The lessons help us develop as individuals and lead-
ers. By sharing them we help foster leadership in someone else. Authen-
ticity also includes transparency.
As leaders, iron sharpens iron and we are responsible for the development
of others. The development also comes in the form of life-long learning.
A school is not the only place to learn. Life teaches us lessons and so do
other people.
We must not ignore the importance of prayer partners, accountability
partners, friends, and family. All these people can teach us lessons about
other people and ourselves. And it is self-development that helps us to
train other people.
Whether we lead at home, work or church people look to us to see what
we do and how we do it. They want to know our motivation for doing it.
If we show love, then we are better equipped to lead projects, people and
positions to the next level.
Now is the time to lead up!!
