lids

In his book The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership,  John Maxwell identifies the lid as the limit of our leadership abilities.  Hard work, efficient management, and knowledge can only bring us so far.  If the lid of one's leadership is low, then the potential for success is also low.  The key, then, is not just to work hard on achieving success but to work hard on raising one's level of leadership.

It's not just about how well you are doing.  It's also about how well those around you are doing.

According to Maxwell, "He who thinks he leads, but has no followers, is only taking a walk." 

If you are tasked with, want to be, count on, or live and die by Leading in Discipleship and you get the feeling from time to time that you're just taking a walk:
a. join the club
b. let's talk

I'm in. It's easier to work with others on the same project than to always paddle upstream alone.
