Welcome to Principle #18 on the Burst Leadership Podcast. Brent will be exploring the last principle of effective leader development today, but come back tomorrow for a special bonus episode! Principle #18 - Effective leader development is a complex, experiential collage. Leader development is not a simple procedure of moving through a series of predictable and successive points. Leader development is a complex and multifaceted, experiential collage of so many things and life experiences that all work together to build the emerging leader.

In today's episode, Brent will be focusing on Principles #16 and #17, two more principles under the "Intentional" group. Principle #16 - People grow in different ways and their callings are different. Therefore, we must use a variety of learning experiences to assist emerging leaders' transformation, and their learning goals should reflect their unique callings. Principle #17 - Both team and individual learning contexts must be provided. The most effective leader has learned to integrate the discipline required for working in teams with the discipline of individual initiative. Therefore, our design must balance individual and team contexts for learning. Learn more: The 18 Principles of Effective Leader Development

Welcome to this episode of the Burst Leadership Podcast. Today Brent is sharing Principle #15, another principle in the "Intentional" group. Principle #15 - Building leaders takes time. It takes a lifetime to build a mature and seasoned leader. Thus, our goal in short-term training is not to achieve final and complete maturity, but to lay a sound and comprehensive foundation in the emerging leader's life. Moreover, our goal is to help him become a lifelong learner who will properly build on the foundation for the rest of his life. Learn more: The 18 Principles of Effective Leader Development

In today's episode, Brent explores Principle #14, the first principle in the "Intentional" group. Principle #14 - Responsibility for learning and growing is shared by the emerging leader and the church community. Fundamentally, building leaders involves providing opportunities for growth: opportunities for learning, experiences, responsibilities, relationships, observing, suffering, etc. These opportunities will not magically produce growth and there is no guarantee that specific individuals will take advantage of them, but if we do not intentionally provide opportunities there will be little growth. Are you providing opportunities for growth in the church community of the leaders you are building? Learn more: The 18 Principles of Effective Leader Development

Welcome to the Burst Leadership podcast! In today's episode, Brent is diving into the next principle in the "Instructional" group, Principle #13. Principle #13 - Engagement brings change. Emerging leaders must be engaged in the process. They cannot be passive recipients. They must actively take responsibility for their own learning and be engaged in their hearts (broken and accountable before God and the community); in their heads (the various learning tasks) and in their hands (actively doing ministry). We must design transformational experiences that will help them to learn, do and be. Learn more: The 18 Principles of Effective Leader Development

In today's episode, Brent Hoover finishes Principle #12. Principle #12: The Word of God is the foundation and the means for building healthy leaders. The teaching of the Word of God was central in Jesus' method of building leaders, and it must be in ours. For God's Word to be properly taught, we must teach the Word and not merely about the Word. Our teaching must be anointed by the Holy Spirit. Our teaching should be practical, relevant and appropriate for the emerging leaders we are building.

Welcome to Part 2 of Principle #12 of Healthy Leader Development. Principle #12 - The Word of God is the foundation and the means for building healthy leaders. The teaching of the Word of God was central in Jesus' method of building leaders and it must be in ours. In this episode, Brent will be covering the question: How do we make the Word of God effective in building leaders? For God's Word to be properly taught, there must be both the teaching of the Word and personal relationship with the leader (2 Tim. 3:10-17). There must be engagement. Teaching is not necessarily learning. The best teaching will often be an interactive dialogue between learner and teacher; not an endless monologue to which the learner passively listens. Listening is not learning. Learning requires activity! Learn more: The 18 Principles of Effective Leader Development

Join Brent today as he shares the first principle in the "Instructional" group, Principle #12. Because this is a deep principle, he will be breaking it up in the next three episodes to fully explore this principle. In this episode, he will be covering these two main questions: 1. How much does the teaching of God's Word impact your building of leaders? 2. How can we do a better job of bibical instruction? Principle #12 - The Word of God is the foundation and the means for building healthy leaders. The teaching of the Word of God was central in Jesus' method of building leaders and it must be in ours. A Christ-centered design has to be saturated with the very words of Christ and the Scriptures that filled Jesus' soul. Learn more: The 18 Principles of Effective Leader Development

Welcome to today's episode! Brent is diving in the last principle in the "Experiential" group, Principle #11. Principle #11 - Leaders are built through fire. Jesus loved his disciples enough that he was willing to use hard things to do a deeper work in their lives. Sometimes building means breaking. Learn more: The 18 Principles of Effective Leader Development

In today's episode, Brent will be focusing on Principle #10, another principle that falls under the "Experiential" group. Principle #10 - Challenging assignments stretch and mature the emerging leader. The key about challenging assignments is this: challenge factor should not be too high nor too low, but just enough to stretch people to cause new growth. Experiential challenges are long-term and deep teachers, they stick with people! Learn more: The 18 Principles of Effective Leader Development

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 9 of the Burst Leadership podcast. In today's episode, Brent will be focusing on Principle #9, the first principle in the "Experiential" group. Principle #9 - Leaders learn by doing. In order to really learn something well, we as human beings have to experience it. Jesus built leaders “on the job” where they dealt with real problems and opportunities and faced real consequences. Therefore, we must balance “classroom” instruction time with practical “in the field” “hands on” ministry. Learn more: The 18 Principles of Effective Leader Development

Join Brent today as he explores the last principle in the "Relational" group, Principle #8. Principle #8 - We must build the right ones! Our process focuses on a few, so they must be the right ones. Choosing the right people to build into will determine your outcome as much as anything. We are not just looking for nice Christians, we should be looking for good thinkers and people of action! Learn more: The 18 Principles of Effective Leader Development

In today's episode, Brent shares the next principle of healthy leader development in the "Relational" group. Principle #7 - Leaders are built a few at a time. Since leaders personally build leaders, one leader can build only a few other leaders – if he wants to do it properly. Learn more: The 18 Principles of Effective Leader Development

In today's episode, Brent will be focusing on Principle #6, another principle that falls under the "Relational" group. Principle #6 - Leaders who build leaders should themselves be involved in the daily responsibilities of leadership. Leaders should not teach in an artificial environment removed from the real world. Jesus and Paul (e.g., Acts 19:9-11) both conducted extensive and fruitful personal ministries while concurrently building new leaders. This practice maintains integrity and reality, brings credibility and empathy, and dramatically increases effectiveness. Learn more: The 18 Principles of Effective Leader Development

Join Brent today as he explains the next principle in the "Relational" group. Principle #5 - Leaders Build Leaders By themselves teachers and courses don't build leaders. It takes a leader to impart the vision, passion, courage and strategic perspectives of leadership. Therefore, we should not seek the perfect “package” that will work “all-by-itself.” Packages don't build leaders; leaders build leaders. Learn more: The 18 Principles of Effective Leader Development

Today Brent is sharing the key principle from the "Relational" group. Principle #4 - Leaders Are Built in Community Therefore, the entire local church community must take responsibility for and actively participate in building leaders. Moving from the disconnected “factory” approach to the “family” approach. Jesus didn't just choose 1 or 2 disciples or a school of 5,000, he chose a small community because He know the relational community had power to shape and to be used by God his Father in the nurturing and transformation of lives.

This is episode 2 of Season 2 of the Burst Leadership podcast. In today's episode, Brent will be focusing on Principles #2 and #3, the two main principles that fall under the "Spiritual" group. Principle #2 - Ultimately, God is The One That Builds Leaders We must never allow our agenda to prevent Him from accomplishing His. Principle #3 - Prayer Must Saturate Leadership Development Jesus consistently prayed for, with and over His emerging leaders. Moreover, Jesus revealed the Father to His disciples; they saw God, heard His voice and touched Him (1 John 1:1-3)! Our primary responsibility in building new leaders is to see that they know God – we must teach them to pray! Learn more: The 18 Principles of Effective Leader Development

Join Brent Hoover as he explores this topic and why it is important to have people around you that can help you build deep and lasting resilience to help you get up and keep going.

Why do we do the things that are not good for us and neglect to do the things that are good for us? Brent points out that we will act on things that bring us temporary joy in the moment, but we will not want to act on the things that are painful in the moment but will bring us lasting joy. One of the greatest crises we're facing today is that people are not moving enough. How do we change our mindset from “having to do it” because we are told we should do it, to “wanting to do it” because it makes us feel good? Join Brent Hoover as he shares more about this topic in today's episode of the Burst Leadership podcast!

How did Jesus teach His disciples in the day-to-day ministry? It is not always in the formal settings that your influence runs the deepest.
