Growth in
leadership capacity
Walking with Jesus

Learning to lead is every bit as
complex as learning to become
a mature productive adult all
over again.
Larry Donnithorne

We must be the
People of God
before we do the
work of the
People of God

The Circle of
Vision

The Philosophy of the Circle:
To lead you must “see” where
you are going and have a plan
to get there.
The Practice of the Circle:
Have vision. Plan action.

Four Perspectives on Vision:
1. Vision Pairs – Objective and
Process Vision
2. PPT-Goals-Calendar
Management
3. Our adaptive environment
4. The role of wisdom

Vision Pairs –
Objective and
Process Vision

Objective Vision – the objective to be done
Moses’ father-in-law said to him, “What you are doing
is not good… Now listen to me. I will give you counsel
Exodus 17:18-19
Then I (Nehemiah) said to them, “You see the trouble
we are in, how Jerusalem lies in ruins with its gates
burned. Come, let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem, so
that we may no longer suffer disgrace.” Neh. 2:17
“Follow me and I will make you fish for people.” Mark
1:17
Process Vision – the process clarifies what to do.
But some believers who belonged to the sect of the
Pharisees stood up and said, “It is necessary for them
to be circumcised and ordered to keep the law of
Moses.” The apostles and the elders met together to
consider this matter. Acts 15:5-6

PPT
PPT = Protected Planning Time. An hour a
week, offline, to clarify priorities for the
coming week and your to-do list. See p 20
or 21 in the materials from November.
Goals, “to-do’s” and calendar Management
– PPT is a discipline that manages and
shapes your to-do list – which helps clarify
your vision – not just what you need to do
but what you want to do with others – with
the implied leadership moments.

PPT =
Protected Planning Time
Do Lists + Your calendar

Our adaptive
and complex
environment

A Leader’s Framework for Decision
Making
by David J. Snowden and Mary E.
Boone
Harvard Business Review –
November 1, 2007

Link the Circle of Leader with the
Circle of the Vision:
What character qualities assist the
navigation of adaptive challenges?

Character qualities that assist the
navigation of adaptive challenges
1. Humility
2. Inquiry (of the lord, of
imagination)
3. Experimentation (probe)
4. Godly Gumption
5. Wisdom

The role of wisdom
“Wisdom is a tool for decision-
making in light of uncertainty.”

Sources of Wisdom:
Scripture
Prayer
Wise Counsel

Wisdom through Scripture:
If any of you is lacking in wisdom,
ask God, who gives to all
generously and ungrudgingly, and
it will be given you. I James 1:5

Wisdom through Prayer:
If any of you is lacking in
wisdom, ask God, who gives to all
generously and ungrudgingly, and
it will be given you. I James 1:5

Wisdom through Prayer
We have not ceased praying… that
you may be filled with the
knowledge of God’s will in all
spiritual wisdom and
understanding, so that you may
lead lives worthy of the Lord, fully
pleasing to him, as you bear fruit in
every good work and as you grow
in the knowledge of God.”
I Corinthians 1:9-10

Wisdom through Wise Counsel
Without counsel, plans go
wrong, but with many advisers
they succeed. Proverbs 15:22
Plans are established by taking
advice. Proverbs 20:18a

Vision in uncertainty:
Seek wisdom – take courage
We have the mind of Christ. I Cor 2:16b
I will counsel you with my eye upon you.
Do not be like a horse or a mule, without
understanding, whose temper must be
curbed with bit and bridle Psalm 32:8b-9
I hereby command you: Be strong and
courageous; do not be frightened or
dismayed, for the Lord your God is with
you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9
Note also Acts 16

What do you think about this:
In our manic day with its heavy
pressure of present
demand, planning is a spiritual
discipline?

The 10/90 Rule
Leadership is 10% technical and 90% tactical.
10% Technical
What are we going to do?
90% Tactical
How will we keep people with us?
The goal of the 10/90 Rule is to lead people without losing them
Whether the problem is
simple, complicated or complex – requiring
a straight forward process of deciding what
to do – or complex adaptive process –
resulting in the decision to try a probe
(experiment), wisdom uses the 10/90 Rule
before implementing the decision.

Link the Circle of the leader with
the Circle of the Call-to-Action:
Why is character so important
when we call people to action?

Think of an outstanding leader in
your life and of a particular
leadership moment in which you can
identify the four circles of the
leader, follower, vision, call-to-action
