510 | Cultivation: Developing New Leaders

Today we continue our series called Cultivation. And what are we cultivating? Leaders.If you didn’t catch part one, you’ll want to go back and listen to episode 504 on Making Others Successful. It’s one of our favorite things to talk about around here!Why? “Your job as a leader is to make your team successful, and not the other way around.”Let me highlight one of the main points that we hit last time, because you’ve got to get this before you can move forward and really start to grow the leaders around you… Your greatest challenge and your greatest success as a leader will be making others great. Making them successful. Building them into something more than they are now.Let me say it another way, you’re in the construction business … the business of building others up and making them successful in their role on your team.Now, let me give you three keys to know when you’re being a successful builder of other people.When someone you serve grows out of selfishness and serves the good of others, you are a successful builder.When someone you lead gains more responsibility, including a healthy respect from the team, you are a successful builder.When someone that you’ve inspired goes on to do more than they ever thought they were capable of, you are a successful builder.Today, we’ll dig into even more helpful content about developing the people around you.Enjoy today’s show, Chris
