Episode 60: Progressive Leadership Stage 1

In Episode 60, Lance refreshes the screen about leadership and reminds of us the basic five stages of leadership, what it means to be a leader at each stage, and how to grow as someone wanting influence with others. In this podcast, Lance identifies Stage 1, the Positional Stage.

Notes:

Lance’s passions:

  1. For people to have a relationship with Jesus Christ.

  2. For people to live as powerful sons and daughters of God.

  3. For people to fulfill their purpose and calling as a community, with healthy relationships. I call that family.

  4. For people who want to lead to do so in a healthy and empowered way.

So, much of what I talk about in this podcast will be related to one of these four areas.

  4. Do more than expected.

    • Make sure that you doing more than expected is not taking work away from someone else’s expectation.

    • Show up early. Stay late.

    • Look for things to be done.

    • Make a list of small projects that you normally can’t get to, so if you have down time or some sudden free time, you’ve got a list prepared to work on.

    • Add value to people. Doing that you will add value to the company.

    • Hark work matters.

  5. Offer creative ideas for change and improvement.

    • If you see a problem, offer a solution.

    • Stay hungry.

    • Hustle.

    • Invest in others and the company (People investment. Policy investment.)
