Leadership Pipeline

I was listening to a recording that'll help you improve and grow your business, please share it with your team.

(SUMMARY) John C. Maxwell's Leadership Series:

Leaders are required in every area of an organization as this is not a top down model. Since they add value wherever they are, there is no such thing as having too many leaders. In fact, most organizations don't have enough.

All successful organizations have a pipeline of leaders for they cannot wait until someone rises to the top.

Here is how you can keep your Leadership Pipeline pumping:
1) It takes a leader to FIND a leader - their head is above the crowd to spot other heads above the crowd
2) It takes a leader to ENLIST a leader - they are going somewhere and they know how to persuade others to follow
3) It takes a leader to TRAIN other leaders - they have a reputation of developing people
4) It takes a leader to RELEASE a leader - they know when to let them go so they can become the leader they were meant to be

Worst than training your people and not keeping them is not training your people and keeping them. Every industry deals with a shallow people of talent. Remember the Pareto Principle: only 20% of people do 80% of the work. Top talent is even less, only 5% in every segment. For your business, train at every level. The training principle is simple - but not easy - that is; I lead you are with me, you lead and I am with you, you lead and someone is with you.

Now go create the infrastructure to feed the pipeline.
