Your Organization Must Have “Growers” to Move Forward
The past couple of days I have listened to leadership podcasts from Stovall Weems. The quality of the podcasts is excellent. One of the recent topics focused on growers.
Growers are defined as those people in your organization who can lead successfully in a significant area. They grow their area and they advance the cause. In short, they move the ball down the field. Pastor Stovall indicated that effective growers have the ability to:
- Inspire
Cast vision, inspire others to the cause
- Build teams
- Get the right people in the right seats on the bus
- Problem solve
- 5 levels of problem solvers
- Don’t see the problem/challenge
- Sees the problem, doesn’t feel urgency to solve it
- Sees the problem, feels the problem but can’t fix it
- Sees the problem, feels the problem, can solve it to make the situation as good as it was before
- Sees the problem, feels the problem and makes the situation better than it was before
- Execute
- Produce desired outcomes
To win, every organization must have growers.
What else would you add to the list of qualities for a “grower”?
Great post! Especially like the 5 Levels of Problem Solvers. I’d add Track Results. This may be what you had in mind as part of Executing. Tracking results will allow us to see how well we’ve done in the other areas so we can make adjustments and improvements as needed.
Great thought regarding track results. Thanks Scott.
