If you know anything about football one thing that everyone talks about and that has proven to be true as the games have played out is that if a team doesn’t have great leadership at the quarterback position as well as at the head coaching position their chances of making it very far or obtaining a good record are very slim. Leadership is important and is directly connected to success. However, an effective leader produces leaders once they have themselves learned how to follow. In order to be a great leader you have to first master the art of submission.
As a former track athlete, I know that when you are running a race it is best not to look behind you while running. You are to get a sense of where everyone is and govern your pace accordingly. However, in life, and especially in leadership, if you never look behind you there is always the chance that you are running alone. Leadership isn’t about winning. It’s about creating a legacy. In order for that to happen you will need to create new leaders from those who follow you.
With a sincere heart, ask them questions such as, “What can I do better?” or “How can I better serve you?” A genuine question posed from a leader to those whom they lead can shift the trajectory of a ministry, organization, or business. Those that follow you will be further emboldened to carry out your vision once they know that you value their desire to be a part of it.
