Expanding Leadership

November 17, 2025 bobturner Daily Leadership, saltJournal 0 Comments

Expansion is the action of becoming larger or more extensive.

We talk about expanding a program of work, a building project, and even investments.

What about the expansion of our leadership?

We can easily fall into the “comfort zone.” We enjoy the status quo and before long nothing happens.

Our leadership needs to be expanded. How?

Read material that deals with growing our leadership skills.
Spend time with successful leaders.
Ask God to open doors and grant us wisdom.

If we will get out of the rut and ask for a little help, our leadership will expand to greater levels.

Procrastination

Procrastination can be one of the most destructive traits in anyone’s life, especially leaders.

It might not be a problem if the decision is inconsequential. If, however, the decision carries consequential value, then procrastinating can be devastating.

Why do people procrastinate?

1) Fear of making the wrong decision
2) Lack of adequate information
3) Not a priority to the decision maker(s)
4) Need for 100% agreement
5) Comfortable with the status quo

There are more, but the results are the same.

When procrastination appears to be a common approach, confidence in leadership wanes and apathy results. Why care about anything if making a decision takes too long?

An Expanding Leader

Expansion is the action of becoming larger or more extensive. Unless we are able to think bigger, plan larger, trust more, and implement options to achieve expansion, we will not grow beyond the shadow of our own leadership.

The challenge for leaders today is to eliminate the “status quo” and move forward to greater heights.

Expansion, whether we like it or not, is a part of God’s plan and we are privileged to participate in that plan.

Let us set our eyes on a greater horizon, a more global mindset, and implement plans to expand the borders of the Lord’s kingdom.
