Good Leaders Keep Growing
Have you heard that the human nose and ears never stop growing?
Well good leaders never stop growing either.
According to Bill Robinson, president of Whitworth University, good leaders “…develop the gifts God gave them. They hone and improve those gifts. They never stop learning how to use their gifts more effectively. And they change. They get better. And they get nervous at the first sign of stagnation.”
Are you developing the gifts Godhas given you? Are you reading, going to conferences, or listening to seminars about areas in of your life that grow you up and affect your ministry success? If not, you may be stagnant and wasting the gifts God has entrusted to you.
Paul wrote to Timothy “When you come, bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas, and my scrolls, especially the parchments.” 2 Timothy 4:13 The scrolls and parchments were books – possibly Old Testament books, new Scriptures from other apostles, or other books that inspired him. The point is he wanted to keep reading and growing.
If you feel stagnant, I pray that you will get nervous about it and then do something about it. Leaders should “never stop learning… They get better.”
By the way, human noses and ears do stop growing, they simply lose their elasticity over time making them droop and look bigger.
Keep Growing!
