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.

Leadership means movement. The four simple parts of the leader ID model:-Look for those who think
-Look for those who act
-This requires observation of their lives
-Depend on God

Key indicators of thinking and acting:

Thinking	Acting
– Faces reality – both within and without	– Passion for the Highest
– Learning – especially from mistakes	– Challenges the status quo
– Reflective	– Takes responsibility and initiative
– Adaptable	– Not afraid to make decision
– Teachable	– Energises others, brings out their best
– Things strategically and conceptually	– Effective communicator
– Holistic thinking	– Resilience
– Embraces ambiguity	– Finishes tasks – stubborn passion
– Thinks interdependently	– Can lead without positional authority
– Practical, not just theoretical

Important cautions:

1. Potential is not performance

2. Potential is not willingness

3. Potential is not readiness

4. It will never be perfect!
