5 Examples of a Leader for a Season
I am frequently asked when is the right time to leave a leadership position. I once wrote 8 Ways to Know It’s Time to Quit. It’s still one of my most requested blog topics. This is a hard decision for many leaders. Thankfully, there are still leaders with a sense of loyalty, who want to do the right thing, and they simply do not know how or when they should leave.
I love hearing how one leader’s tenure carried the organization from infancy to maturity….
I am always impressed to hear of a long term pastorate…
The healthiest way, organizationally speaking, is to have a long-term leader, one who goes through seasons with the organizations, who carries the vision forward over a long span of time.
It should be noted, however, that sometimes a leader is just for a season….
- Some leaders get things started…
- Some leaders guide the organization through transition…
- Some leaders only handle the tough times…
- Some leaders help organizations start again…
- Some leaders close things out graciously….
And then they move on…
If a leader does what he or she has been called to do, there is no shame in doing ONLY what the leader was called to do…
Have you ever been the leader for a season?
What other example would you list?
