How are you helping your best leaders grow in the area of applying strategy and visionary thinking?
- What about every person on staff?
- What about the elders or deacons or administrative council?
- What about every person leading a small group or bible study?
These questions got me thinking more specifically about the developmental process of visionary leadership. What came from the reflection is 28 "competencies." I use this word loosely because these simple statements need more refinement before they could be used for a serious assessment tool. Yet I think they are useful at illustrating a range of development.
The matrix from which the 28 ideas came, started with a two simple assumptions. First there are five areas of clarity that a visionary leader needs to know. The five areas are the components of the Vision Frame. (Learn more about the frame.) The second, is that each area of the frame requires a movement from understanding to appreciation to application. The head, heart and hands must all play their part!
UNDERSTANDING > > > APPRECIATION > > > APPLICATION
If we have people who are growing on this simple continuum, with all aspects of clarity, then your leaders and including your core team will be an unstoppable force.
