One day you will be gone. What will be left of your ministry? How will your ministry continue if there aren’t capable, experienced leaders already mentored, trained, and ready to lead forward? Leaving behind a leadership legacy is really only possible if you let others share with you in the role of leadership. If you find that you are the only one ‘leading’ in your ministry, it is probably a indication that you are not sharing leadership, empowering others, nor multiplying yourself.

Rarely does one leader possess all of these gifts in sufficient measure. Most leaders find that they are strong in one or two of these gifts only. As you build your team or leadership team, assess which of these leadership giftings your team already has and which it still needs. Make sure that you have a good balance of these leadership gifts on your team.

If you haven’t already done so, make sure to define these things right away, with the input of your team. Identify creative ways to continuously keep the vision, mission, values and goals at the forefront of everyone’s minds from week to week, and month to month. Make sure that all plans and decisions are made as a team with your vision, mission, values and goals in mind. It helps keep everyone focused on the same thing and keeps everyone in unity.[/x_feature_box][x_feature_box title=” Define Roles” title_color=”” text_color=”” graphic=”icon” graphic_size=”45px” graphic_shape=”badge” graphic_color=”#db5842″ graphic_bg_color=”#4293db” align_h=”left” align_v=”top” side_graphic_spacing=”20px” max_width=”none” child=”true” connector_width=”1px” connector_style=”dashed” connector_color=”#272727″ graphic_icon=”check” graphic_animation=”fadeInDown” connector_animation=”fadeIn”]DEFINE ROLES: Identify all of the leadership roles and responsibilities that may exist for your team.

In addition, think about what interests and passions each team member has and what roles and responsibilities would most interest them or help them to reach their personal goals and further develop themselves as leaders.
