Learn Leadership Skills

Often when people get elected, appointed or chosen to serve in a position as a leader or as an administrator they think… Wow, they picked me to be the leader, so now I’ve arrived, I know everything. 

But the reality is, nothing could be further from the truth. If you have been asked to be a leader, it is incumbent upon you be open to learn leadership skills. So I want to challenge you to commit to growing today. Grow by learning leadership skills. Subscribe to a blog or a leadership magazine. Commit to reading a book a month that will help you grow and expand your leadership skills in your field. 

Always remember that leaders are learners. And because you are a leader, it’s even more important for you to grow each day. You can grow by finding and scheduling time, to learn leadership skills, daily, monthly, weekly. Start, reading, subscribing to blogs and magazines that can give you practical resources to help you in your leadership role. Pray for humility and don't forget to invite feedback. 

Always remember that the largest room in the world is the room for improvement. So join me in committing to be willing to step into that room every day. Ultimately, the number one person you can learn leadership skills from is Jesus. So ask God for wisdom today, ask him for understanding and remember his promise in Psalm 32 that He will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go.
