Lead & Grow
“A wise man will hear, and will increase learning.” — Proverbs 1:5
Ladies, as we enter a new season, I want to challenge each of us: Don’t just pray for greater opportunities—prepare for them.
If God is increasing our influence, responsibility, and opportunities to lead, then we should also be increasing our knowledge, skills, and capacity.
1. Learn Something New
Make a decision that in this new season, you are going to learn a new skill.
Take the class.
Read the book.
Learn the technology.
Develop your communication skills.
Learn how to organize, plan, manage, delegate, or lead more effectively.
Never become so comfortable with what you already know that you stop growing.
Proverbs 18:15: “The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.”
2. Increase Your Leadership Knowledge
Leadership is something we can intentionally develop.
Study great leaders. Listen to leadership teachings. Ask questions. Learn from people who are strong in areas where you want to grow.
Don’t only ask, “What do I need to accomplish?”
Ask, “Who do I need to become to lead at the next level?”
Your leadership capacity today may have brought you this far, but your next season may require you to develop another level of leadership.
3. Stay Teachable
One of the greatest qualities of a strong leader is that she remains teachable.
It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been leading—there is always something else to learn.
Correction can teach you.
Experience can teach you.
Other leaders can teach you.
Even mistakes can teach you.
Proverbs 9:9: “Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.”
🌷 The LeadHERship Challenge
Before this year is over, choose one new skill you are going to develop and one area of leadership you are going to intentionally strengthen.
Don’t wait until the opportunity comes to start preparing.
Prepare now.
Because when the door opens, you want your character, knowledge, skill, and leadership capacity to be ready to walk through it.
Keep learning.
Keep reading.
Keep asking questions.
Keep developing.
Keep growing.
Never settle for being the leader you were yesterday when God has given you the ability to become a stronger leader tomorrow.
Your next level of leadership will require your next level of growth.
