If you die today as a leader, what happens to your organization, your church, and your business. If it dies when you die, you are a failure.
True leaders identify their successor, mentor them and train them
The best thing you can do right now as a true leader is to identify your successors, and mentor them and train them.
Jesus Christ said to Peter, “Do you love me?” Yes Lord, “Peter said.” Jesus replied, “the company is yours, feed the people.” and He [Jesus] left.
What happens in your absence? that is your legacy.
