As leaders, we're called to more than just making right choices—we're called to become the right kind of people. It's a journey of transformation that impacts every aspect of our leadership and ministry.
The Danger of Learning without Growth
Are You learning or actually changing?
As leaders, we're called to continual growth. But here's a tough question: Are we just learning, or are we truly developing?
Learning = Acquiring new information
Development = Measurably changing how we think and act
Research shows we can learn without intending to change, making development practically non-existent. Sound familiar? We attend a conference, get inspired... then return to business as usual.
Real growth requires intentional change.
Leadership Development and ACTUALLY Learning from Experiences
As Christian leaders, our experiences shape us profoundly. But how often do we actually, intentionally learn from them?
We know that "experience is the best teacher," yet we often rush from one task to another, leaving a trail of unexplored growth opportunities. Our leadership roles provide countless experiences — team conflicts, project successes, pastoral care moments — but we rarely mine these experiences for all the value they could give in our personal development.
Why do we struggle to intentionally learn from our experiences? How can we bridge this gap and transform our day-to-day leadership moments into powerful catalysts for growth?
This Thursday Leadership Development blog gives some practical steps to turn leadership experiences into intentional learning opportunities.
