Do Leaders Need Encouragment?

In my recent involvement in a CEO event I was reminded of the need to be around other leaders for mutual encouragement and learning. Most of us left with a desire to do it more often. Leaders tend to be initiators and in some cases pioneers, who are focused on implementation with limited desire for meaningless meetings. They need safe places to interact about the “stuff” of leadership. One of the issues that came out of this time was the need to develop next generation leaders, who will lead the way when many of us are off the scene. Effective leaders operate with foresight and a desire to leave a lasting legacy of other leaders. Jesus Christ led the way with His investment into the twelve, the three, and the one. Should not each of us be doing the same? We mustn’t allow busyness in leadership to hinder the development of future leaders. Your thoughts?
