Skills Levels for Leadership and Influence

One would assume that the most influential pesons in our society would have the bet training and the highest order of skills. Unfortunately, that is not always true. For over 30 years I have been an educator and trainer in both secular and Christian venues. There is a huge need for the church and Christian organizations to focus on training high quality persons.

The following three Levels of training and giftedness are essential to the effective operation of churches, businesses and governmental agencies.

Level 8. Supervising : Develops work responsibilities for others; evaluates performance; inspires motivation and harmony; moves group toward mission in congruence with the goals and values of the organization .

Level 9. Mentoring : Helps persons grow as into maturity and wholeness. (eg. home, family, work, church, community). Must balance mental, emotional, spiritual, relational, and career considerations to advise, consult, counsel, coach, instruct, supervise, etc.

Level 10. Therapy : Specialized, technical knowledge to carry out therapeutic interventions in the treatment of the ill (mentally, emotionally, spiritually).
