This week we are going to talk through a couple ways your mindset needs to shift as you take on more leadership responsibility.

These may look different depending on the role you are aspiring toward, but these are new challenges you should be anticipating:

Helping others grow safely Growing others while growing yourself Leading out of turmoil yourselfSetting others up for success Taking their criticism on your chin 

Three important mindset shifts:

God isn’t just providing to you, he’s providing through you. 

Psalm 23

The Lord is my shepherd,

I shall not want.

2 He makes me lie down in green pastures;

He leads me beside quiet waters.

3 He restores my soul;

He guides me in the paths of righteousness

For His name’s sake.

4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

I fear no evil, for You are with me;

Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;

You have anointed my head with oil;

My cup overflows.

6 Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life,

And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Understand that you are not sole destination for God’s provision. 

2. God isn’t just providing for YOU, He’s providing for others too.

3. Start being the type of person you want to follow

Ultimately what you value is what others will value. If you are leading people, who you are is what others will be become over time.

You are going to find that a lot of this season will point us to scripture. That’s because, in my opinion, Godly living is BY FAR the most effective way to develop as a leader.
