Leadership development does not happen instantaneously. It takes time; it happens gradually.

Mentoring leaders understand that they influence people in many different ways ranging from directly to indirectly to organizationally.

Knowing that God develops someone one step after another and that such development is a product of his use of other people, events, and experiences in a person’s life, mentoring leaders exercise a keen attentiveness to development movements.

Establishing a leader is not something that happens all at once in one moment.

You must be willing to walk the long road if you want a leader to succeed in succession.

It takes time and intentional effort to establish a leader in every context. You need to carefully plan and prepare for steady, stable leadership. Leadership matters immensely in your ministry. It is the key determinant to the health of your ministry. Regardless of the size of your ministry or the scale of your operations, leadership is crucial to advancing the mission of your ministry.
