A friend has been helping me develop a succession plan for the ministry of Unconventional Business Network. One of the first steps he recommended was to consider the vision I have for the ministry 10 years down the road.
To help with that step, I began developing a futuristic organizational chart. Asking the question, “What kind of people will we need and how many?” is helpful to determine what skills the organization will need and what competencies are necessary in developing future leaders.
In Ecclesiastes 2:21, Solomon wrote, “For a person may labor with wisdom, knowledge and skill, and then they must leave all they own to another who has not toiled for it.”
Proactively determining your organization’s future leadership needs will help you develop a sustainable organization.
