In their book Great Leaders Grow: Becoming a Leader for Life (2012), Ken Blanchard and Mark Miller ask, “Are you a serving leader, or a self-serving leader?” They quote C.S. Lewis, who said, “Great leaders don’t think less of themselves; they just think of themselves less.”
Blanchard and Miller assert that a leader’s capacity to learn determines his or her capacity to lead. If a leader stops learning, he or she stops leading.
Both authors strongly believe that each of us has a stewardship opportunity to maximize the talents and gifts that have been entrusted to us.
If a leader is not growing, he or she can’t expect others to grow. So, how do you grow?
