If you want to last in leadership long term and you want to genuinely make am impact that outlasts your leadership, you will have to be intentional. It isn’t hard…okay actually it is hard…but it can be much easier if you are purposeful in your approach.
Here are 7 suggestions for long term leadership success:
Abiding – Sit with God regularly to talk and listen. Do more listening than talking. Learn to take your relationship with Christ into every aspect of your life, not just into your quiet time.
Health – Get sufficient rest. Exercise. As my muscles stretch, so does the mind. Be reasonable in what you eat and drink. You only have one body and you want it to last for the duration.
Friendship – Be accountable. Allow a few people the freedom to speak into your life. Have some relationships that are beyond surface level. Live a transparent life.
Learning – Do it continually. Read. Sit with other leaders. Attend conferences. Continue your education. Learn something new everyday.
Sharing – Spread the load. Learn to be a friend and an expert at delegation.
Investing – Spend energy on the next realm of leadership.
Celebrating – Learn to enjoy the smallest moments of life.

Agree with point #1 the most. The time has come to listen.
Good message. Thanks.
Thanks Ron great thoughts for leaders to go by!
Thanks friend.
I'd add to take some time off. It's never good to continuously go, go, go. If God needed a break, so do we.
yes
