Logan Leadership

If you’re putting together a training system, a coaching structure, a discipleship approach, a leadership development plan—almost anything—there are five core elements you’ll need to put into place to make a truly great system:

1. Keep it focused. Have a clear understanding of what you’re aiming for and keep that understanding always in the forefront.
2. Keep it simple. Don’t make it too complicated. Skip the bells and whistles and boil it down the essentials.
3. Keep it flexible: If you have clarity on your goal, you can be flexible enough with the method to cooperate with what you see God doing. (see #1)

A man has been leading one of the 10-week groups we’ve been doing in the transition center. The other day he told me that last night he had one of the residents—a woman in recovery—leading it. “I didn’t tell her that’s what she was doing, but she was leading it. She’d read a question, let the group respond, then look at me, and I’d say ‘That’s great, that’s great. Keep going, read the next question.’”
