the joshua problem

do you remember those cheezy leadership pix that made for nice office decor a couple of years back? i actually went to this guys house (a bachelor obviously)who had a collection of these cheezball posters hung on every wall of his apartment....it looked like he robbed office depot? hahah anyway i have a couple of thoughts to share on leadership.
THE JOSHUA PROBLEM:
moses trained Joshua as an apprentice. sadly,Joshua never trained a Joshua. leaders must see that part of their job is training the next generation to lead behind them. LEADERS MULTIPLY. Moses knew that “success without a successor is a failure.” i thought about this and asked myself 2 questions: “who am i developing as the next generation of leaders?” and “what am i doing to develop them?” Because “the chief goal of a leader is not to build followers, but to build more leaders.” WHO IS YOUR JOSHUA?
