How leaders learn

How leaders learn
June 27, 2016


Our conviction is that people in general, and leaders in particular, learn best in community.  A year ago, we began experimenting with Leader Teams which were small, safe communities of people who are leading small groups (house churches, etc.).  These Teams have been very effective at providing both support and equipping for leaders (and they are multiplying in number - we now have 12 Teams).

Here's what we have learned about Leader Teams...

 
  • They are places where everyone is both a teacher and a learner. They talk about practice not just theory.  We call this a "community of practice".
  • They are places where people can come and be authentic and transparent.  They can talk about the real issues they face as leaders.
  • They are places where we have fun and enjoy each other.
In the video below, you will see some of the people in one Leader Team reflecting on their experience.  This is not theory!  These are real life stories.  (Leader Teams are part of our Leader 101 Course. For more information, go here.)
