You can also sign up to receive a sneak peek of the book!   Takeaways for Leaders: Three things that leaders should be working on: IQ - Intelligence Quotient. Always desire to grow and gain intelligence. The moment our competency ends, our lid is reached. The only way to know what you don't know is to learn what you don't know. Leaders should be connecting with people who are a step or two above us and learn from them and help us expand our competence. EQ - Emotional Quotient. Far more people will be held back as leaders because of their emotional maturity rather than their intelligence. AQ - Adaptability Quotient. If you're not able to adapt or be willing to change, then you're going to be left behind. We have to be people who are willing to adapt to the situations and circumstances that we are placed in. Leaders should be able to change with the culture, organization, and personal growth.

You can also sign up to receive a sneak peak of the book!   Takeaways for Leaders: “Usually things look different in the morning than they do in the moment, so it's best to try and wait until the morning to address certain moments.” - Joshua Gagnon Addressing issues in the moment typically involves impulsive emotion.  Pastor Josh admits that early on in ministry, he always thought he needed the answers in order to solidify his role. However, the older he gets, the more he recognizes that sometimes not giving an answer is actually what solidifies his role.  Nobody's looking for a perfect leader, but they are looking for honest leaders. Honest leaders are people who are honestly imperfect. The best leaders recognize that they got it wrong but are willing to make it right.  There's a major difference between reaction when it comes to a leader and action when it comes to a leader. Take action toward a situation, don't react towards a person.

Listen in as he talks about creating content for the weekends.   Graham's email: graham.siemon@nextlevel.church   Mentioned in this Episode: Example of a message outline   Takeaways for Leaders:   How far out are we typically planned? 2-3 series ahead for the team. Personal message content is 1 week out.    Live in the creative pattern you work in.    Our culture as a creative team is a “start with ‘yes'” mentality.   Where does your idea for message series begin? Do you have any sort of annual flow you try and follow? We try to be culturally and seasonally relevant, and reach the felt needs of the people of our church.  Ask: What in culture is already creating a series? Whatever is on Pastor Josh's heart.  Look in the past at which series was the most impactful.   How many weekends a year do you aim to teach and why that number? 30-35. There's a danger of only having one voice in the house.    Any tips on identifying and developing a teaching team? Be okay with someone who is 70% as good as you are. Recognize that the church won't crumble because you aren't on stage. We stick to a similar structure no matter who is teaching, but don't mimic the same teaching style and personality as another. Be yourself on stage. Don't be afraid to reach out to teaching pastors at other churches and ask to use one of their messages, allowing you to have a week off.

Listen in as he talks about how we have cultivated a culture of generosity at Next Level Church.   Shane's email: shane.becton@nextlevel.church   Takeaways for Leaders: When talking about giving in church, we want people to see the blessing that comes along with financial obedience and remove any barriers people might be facing.  Allow and encourage people to simply start somewhere in their giving journey.  Make yourself available and create opportunities to talk to people about giving off the stage (in the lobby, on the phone, at coffee meetings, etc).  The units equal obedience. The dollar amount can be a skewed figure, so giving units is the number we focus on because it shows the discipleship growth and health.

Takeaways for Leaders:   What is one habit that you gave up in 2019 that you're glad you did?   Pastor Josh Gagnon: The desire for approval from people. I never let people speak into my life unless they sweat alongside of me. We need to determine who's voice matters and turn the volume up.    Walt Robbins: Saying “yes” to everything.    Kenny Laughters: Caring what other people think about my leadership.   Michael Grayston: Looking at my phone when I'm talking to people.    Josue Higueros: Looking at my email at night.   Pablo Lopez: Not using my vacation.   Alan Morse: Being passive.   Bryan Levangie: Infrequent prayers.

There's a difference between a spiritual father and a spiritual brother. The weight of the words of a father is different than the weight of the words of a brother.    Walt Robbins: Listening to more audiobooks and taking advantage of my time in my car.    Kenny Laughters: Lead more and do less.    Michael Grayston: Calling out good moments when I see them.    Josue Higueros: Using reminders app on my iPhone.    Pablo Lopez: Going to bed early.    Alan Morse: Writing things down.    Bryan Levangie: Working out.

However, what God is doing in you, for you today may be the very ingredients that's needed to catapult you into greater success tomorrow.
