Leadership Corner: The Effective Leadership Model

The Effective Leadership Model

I. Mastering Your Core

• Listen - hear from God for greater intimacy, authority and favor
• Become - a non-anxious presence among those you lead
• Interact - with others with honesty, courage and grace
• Learn - continually learn for personal and professional improvement

II. Forging the Path

• Discern - size up the situation, discern God's desired future, act with good judgment
• Communicate - Everything happens because of a conversation
• Train - Invest in the people around you and train them in skills that enable them to accomplish necessary tasks
• Deploy - mobilize people in systematic ways to accomplish work that achieves results

III. Ensuring Execution

• Encourage - continually encourage your team
• Meet and Report - meet regularly with your team members and have them report on the tasks they agreed to accomplish and set new goals to complete by the next meeting
• Measure results - "How are we doing?" - you can only improve what you measure.
