Are You Preparing Your Replacement?

Pass the Baton

Whatever job you have–whether you’re on a team or with an organization–have you considered who is ready to step in and take over for you? Are you able to quickly and affirmatively answer that question? If not, John Maxwell’s Leadership Bible offers some practical advice.

In his 13th Law of Leadership—the Law of Reproduction—Maxwell states, “It takes a Leader to raise up a Leader.”

5 Practices of Amplified Leadership

No duty the Executive had to perform was so trying as to put the right man in the right place. - Thomas Jefferson
Today is Thomas Jefferson’s birthday. I often use the quote above from our 3rd President in different leadership talks.

In more than 20 years of Human Resources experience, I can attest to that truth from Thomas Jefferson. When you get the right person in the right job, John Maxwell’s 12th Law of Leadership—The Law of Empowerment—kicks in.

Dan Reiland, who worked closely with Maxwell for 20 years—first as Executive Pastor at Skyline Wesleyan Church in San Diego, then as Vice President of Leadership and Church Development at INJOY—authored a book called Amplified Leadership in 2011.

In the book, he outlines 5 practices to establish influence, build people, and impact others for a lifetime. Jefferson would be among the first to endorse these practices to get the right people in the right places at the right times.
