T21 Servant Leadership

Objective: •            Get leaders to commit to setting up a plan for ensuring succession and not just success. You have heard me teach things that have been confirmed by many reliable witnesses. Now teach these truths to other trustworthy people who will be able to pass them on to others. 2 Timothy 2:2   Congratulations on getting up to this point in your training. We pray and believe that these twenty-one (21) weeks of training, has had a profound impact on your life and leadership.

Resilience is the ability to bounce back after adversity. A leader or team member with low personal resilience will be irritable, moody, easily depressed and may show signs of poor memory as well as of being in despair and hopelessness. This is not only very dangerous for the individual but may also have a negative impact on t...
