Course summary

Well done on completing this course. Here is a summary of the key ideas from the course. We encourage you to discuss what you have learnt with your team.

Here is a very simple but powerful way to think about leader development – and in fact, every kind of training. You can even think about ministry strategy using this model. But our focus here will be on building leaders’ lives.

Effective leader development has three components: goal, process and design.

The design has three elements: Context, Content and Collage.

Leaders guide questions:

• First, define the goal. Always start with the goal. Pray about the 5Cs and identify one of them in which you need to grow.
• Second, define the process. Using the Dynamics of Transformation Chart, identify specific things you can do in order to grow in your chosen area.
• Third, make the design.
• Make your specific design by answering these questions:
  • When will this take place?
  • How long will it take?
  • Where will it take place?
  • What resources (people, materials, opportunities, etc.) will you need to accomplish this?
  • What is the step-by-step plan you will follow?

When you have finished your design, please share it with the team.
