More Valuable, Develop Other Leaders to Succeed You

Because we live in such a now generation, with instant popcorn, microwaves and fast food, we have become impatient and expect everything in our lives to be instant. We expect instant success, instant personal growth and the case of our health we want instant results there too. Leaders are no different, they too want to move fast and see their vision fulfilled as quickly as possible. They believe that if they develop a crystal clear picture of where they want their team or organisation to go, they have a strong clear idea how to get it done and they have sufficient drive and passion. It should all just fall into place and happen according to their agenda. As you know things seldom proceed according to our agendas, especially when other people are involved.

The major challenge, which leader's encounter that retards the delivery of their vision, is that the people in their teams or organisation often lag behind them, in terms of understanding, drive, passion and commitment. It is for this reason that there always appears to be an underlying tension between where a leader needs his or her people to be and where they actually are. This tension results in a gap between what the team is actually able to deliver and the expectations of the leader. Even strong leaders with great leadership ability, who have a clear vision, passion and drive to succeed, never seem to close this gap.

Although I have struggled with this concept my entire life as a leader, I now think I have discovered the best way to accelerate the success within any team. The answers that I have come up with are the result of a combination of personal experience and research, which I have conducted into discovering how to accelerate the results, which I could enjoy with my own teams.

The answers I have come up with can be broken down as follows:

Committing to a lifetime of personal growth and development equips you to grow and will accelerate your personal growth. As you grow personally, where you wake up each day a little better than you were the previous day, you will gradually compound your success and over time you will realise all your dreams. The longer you stay committed to this process, the more you will grow and improve and the greater will be the acceleration of your personal success. The longer you stay committed to this process the more the momentum will gather and the faster your success will arrive. This is a concept I wrote about in one of my previous articles, when I spoke about, people becoming ten year overnight successes.
