Jesus Plan of Succession (Luke 6:1216; Matthew 28:1620)
I want to say thank you to Charlie Wetzel and the rest of the team who assisted me with the formation and publication of this book. And to the people in my organizations who support it. You all add incredible value to me, which allows me to add value to others. Together, were making a difference!
Early in my career when I first began teaching people in church about leadership, they were often surprised. I was clearly young and inexperienced, yet the ideas I was able to convey seemed to be beyond what I should know. Later when I started writing about leadership, people gravitated to the message. And when I started writing and speaking to a more general audience, people often asked, Where in the world did you learn all this?
I was happy to let them in on a secret: everything I know about leadership I learned from the Bible.
Not only is the Bible the greatest book ever written, it is the greatest leadership book ever written. Everything you could ever want to learn about leadershipvision, purpose, thinking strategy, communication, attitude, encouragement, mentoring, follow-throughis all there. You just need to be open to what God wants to teach you. As it says in Isaiah 55:11,
My word that goes out from my mouth:
It will not return to me empty,
but will accomplish what I desire
and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
Gods word always fulfills his purpose. If you have felt a stirring to become a better leader or if someone has tapped your shoulder and asked you to lead, God will help you.
I am excited for you as you begin this journey of leadership development through the Word of God. Ive chosen to organize this book around the 21 Laws of Leadership. You may be familiar with my book The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership: Follow Them and People Will Follow You. If you are, the laws will be very familiar to you. If not, dont worry. I have included a brief excerpt from the book in each lesson to explain the law. But Ive kept the focus of this workbook on Scripture. Each lesson contains three carefully selected biblical case studiessome positive, some negativethat reveal and illustrate the law. After you read each of these passages from the Bible, you will answer study questions that will prompt you to really dig into the Scripture and learn about leadership from it.
But this workbook isnt designed to be merely a theoretical exercise. Its meant to help you become a better leader. So following the passages and study questions, you will be directed to reflect on how you can apply the leadership lessons to your own life. You will also develop a specific action item to help you follow through and improve your leadership.
You can easily go through this workbook on your own and improve your leadership ability. But I want to encourage you to do this with a group. Theres nothing like learning with other like-minded people who desire to grow and develop their leadership skills. To help you with this process, Ive included group discussion questions at the end of each lesson.
My recommendation is that you gather a group of people to engage in the process together. Before you meet, each of you should complete the Study Questions, Leadership Insight and Reflection, and Taking Action sections on your own for that lesson. Then gather together as a group and answer the discussion questions. I believe youll find you learn better and enjoy it more in a group.
May God bless you as you enjoy this journey.
THE LAW OF THE LID
Leadership Ability Determines a Persons Level of Effectiveness
Success is within the reach of just about everyone. While not every person can receive a 10 rating (on a success scale of 1 to 10), most people are capable of achieving some level of success or effectiveness in their lives. However, everyone eventually confronts a natural lid on their effectiveness, and that lid is leadership ability. The reality is that the level of your overall effectiveness can never rise higher than the level of your leadership ability. The higher the leadership ability, the greater the potential. The lower the leadership ability, the lower the impact.
Your leadership abilityfor better or for worsealways affects your effectiveness and the potential impact of your organization. Thats because as an individual, you can only succeed so much. There are just so many hours in a day for one person to work. Only when you partner with others and increase your effectiveness as a team can you move your personal success level past that lid.
Lets say your level of success is a 6 out of 10. Thats pretty good. But like most people, youd like to grow and raise that level. You have two choices: You could focus all your energy on increasing your personal effectiveness. You could work even harder and longer. And with all of that dedication, you might grow some. But eventually you would fill all of your time and exhaust yourself. A more efficient and fulfilling use of your time and energy would be to focus on growing as a leader.
When you raise your leadership abilityeven without increasing your success dedication at allyou increase your success potential by a great deal. When you raise that lid, your influence will grow as a result. More people will want to follow you and work with you to achieve a goal. And more people dedicated to the vision means more time and energy devoted to its success. The more people you lead, and the more positive influence you have on them, the more you will achieve.
Leadership ability is also the lid on organizational effectiveness. If an organizations leadership is strong, its lid is high. But if its not, then the organization is limited. Thats why in times of trouble, organizations naturally look for new leadership. When the country is experiencing hard times, it elects a new president. When a company is losing money, it hires a new CEO. When a church is floundering, it searches for a new senior pastor. When a sports team keeps losing, it looks for a new head coach.
