LEAD-DAR

I am turning my LEAD-DAR on.

As I walk through this season of my life, I am drawn even stronger to the idea of developing the next generation of leaders. I want to invest myself in those who have potential to exert tremendous influence for Christ’s sake in the various arenas in which they act: Home, Work, Community, and Church.

So I am on the look out for younger men who want to make a difference and who are seeking to have someone a little further down the road of life share with them the insights he has developed over half a century of living (wow, that makes me sound really old!).

So, I have activated my LEAD-DAR. I am on the lookout for leaders who want to grow and for potential leaders that I can invest in.

My LEAD-DAR is programmed to look for men who display the FACTS of Leader Potential.

FAITHFUL: Have they been faithful with the responsibilities and assignments they have been given in the past?

AVAILABLE: Are they willing to make the time to meet with me?

COMMITTED: Are they committed to doing the self-work required to develop their strengths and to overcome their limitations? Are they committed to taking the time this investment in them will require?

TEACHABLE: Are the humble enough to allow themselves to admit that they haven’t learned it all yet? Do they have a teachable spirit?

SERVANT: Are they willing to set themselves aside and see their primary role in every arena (Marriage, Parent, Employee, Church Member, and Citizen) is to put others’ needs ahead of their own and to serve others.


Are you on my LEAD-DAR Screen?
