You see social media posts from peers and experts that are \u201ckilling it,\u201d and you silently wonder when (or if) you\u2019ll ever reach that level of success.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re also reminded daily that people count on you. You want to lead better, do better, and be better for them, and for yourself. And you know that time is passing quickly. The children, teens, volunteers, or staff that you lead are looking to you for answers. But sometimes the words or knowledge fail you.<\/p>\n<p>And sometimes it\u2019s all just a bit overwhelming, isn\u2019t it? You want to appreciate the people around you today, because they\u2019ll transition or graduate to the next phase of life soon. But how do you invest in them, and yourself, without shirking your other responsibilities?<span id=\"more-1122\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>These are common struggles for all leaders, and though there are no easy answers, solutions may be closer than you think. Here are three ideas to help you sharpen your leadership skills, beginning right now.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Keep learning.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Experts become experts because they kept learning. And the people you follow and hold in high regard should still be information seekers, even if they\u2019ve achieved some measure of success. The truth is, despite what you may have said behind someone\u2019s back, a \u201cknow it all\u201d doesn\u2019t really exist.<\/p>\n<p>This also includes learning from failures, not just through books, podcasts, and conferences. That #epicfail you had last week serves as a perspective for the week ahead.<\/p>\n<p>Great leaders are learners. So, grab that book, earbuds, event ticket, or reflect on what went wrong. School\u2019s always in session.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Celebrate the wins, big and small.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s really easy to look at your never-ending To Do list and see what you haven\u2019t accomplished. And it&#8217;s also easy to celebrate the big wins because they are front-and-center and usually public.<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s important that you celebrate the small wins as well. Did all your volunteers show up this week? Or did that weird kid you adore finally make a friend? Did the next stage of the mission trip get planned? Or did your team turn their budgets in on time? These are all reasons to celebrate. Sure, you may not throw a party for any of these reasons. But you should take a break, have coffee with a friend, or scroll leisurely through Instagram for a few minutes. You decide the reward, just be sure to enjoy it.<\/p>\n<p>Little tasks lead to large goals. They\u2019ll also keep you motivated on the journey to progress.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Be kind to yourself in every phase.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Can we just agree that there is enough shaming going on in the world? If someone heard you say some of the things to yourself that you think or utter out loud, you\u2019d be declared a bully and sent home to get an earful from your parents. Enough is enough. Jesus was a big fan of grace, and guess what\u2014that even extends to you.<\/p>\n<p>As a leader, you should absolutely push yourself to be better. But that doesn\u2019t mean you should create additional pressure for yourself. That won\u2019t help you lead better, but it will help you burn out faster. Become a person of grace, so that you can extend that same grace to others.<\/p>\n<p>Did any of these ideas surprise you? Probably not. Do you know why?\u00a0Because you\u2019re already a good leader.\u00a0Sure, there are always improvements to be made, but just remind yourself how of far you\u2019ve come.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re trying hard.<br \/>\nYou care about the people you lead.<br \/>\nOf course, you want to do better. (And you will.)<br \/>\nYou have some good days\u00a0and some bad days.<br \/>\nWe all do, even those people who look perfect online.<\/p>\n<p>But right now, at this moment, you\u2019re already a good leader.<\/p>\n<p>Repeat it aloud to yourself. Seriously, right now. (<em>\u201cI\u2019m a good leader.\u201d<\/em>)<\/p>\n<p>Bonus points for telling someone else today that they\u2019re a good leader. It can be through a hand-written note, high-five, hug, or a few heartfelt words. It\u2019s something we all need to hear, and is always appreciated, no matter what your title or experience.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Phase Guides<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>So, how can you be a better leader in this phase? Start by realizing you already are, and then make plans to build on that. Great leaders enjoy the process.<\/p>\n<p>And if you\u2019d like to keep learning, celebrate big and small wins, and be kind to yourself\u00a0all at the same time, we\u2019d like to introduce you to\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/phaseguides.com\/\">Phase Guides<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>As the next chapter of The Phase Project, these interactive, journal-style books will serve as your guide while you lead and parent kids to grow in their faith and character.<\/p>\n<p>Because each of the approximately 936 weeks from when a child is born to when he or she graduates from high school will seem to fly by, we\u2019ve created a guide for each year from newborn through 18 with research-driven information, engaging activities, spiritual reflection, and milestone celebrations.<\/p>\n<p>In each guide, you\u2019ll discover . . .<\/p>\n<p>what\u2019s changing about a kid over the next 52 weeks,<\/p>\n<p>the 6 things he or she needs most,<\/p>\n<p>and 4 conversations to have in this phase.<\/p>\n<p>While we can\u2019t guarantee that these guides have all the answers, we can guarantee that they\u2019ll help you make the most of every phase in a child\u2019s life.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/phaseguides.com\/\">Phase Guides.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Because every leader can use an assistant.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/phaseguides.com\/\">Buy your copy today at phaseguides.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether it simply lurks at the back of your mind during infrequent moments of insecurity or it keeps you up at night, you probably worry at times that you don\u2019t measure up as a leader.
