The One Thing That All Great Leaders Do; How to Replace Yourself Nov 04, 2019

Show notes

In this episode, Jake and I discuss the leadership move that separates all the level 1 leaders from the level 10 leaders. Level 10 leaders have developed the systems to replace themselves so the entire ministry or business is not dependent on them alone - but it can run just fine with other team members.

This prevents celebrity culture and it sets the ministry/business up for success years down the road.

Below are some simple tool links to help you start replicating your procedures so you can hand them off to other leaders around you
