Sustaining Success: Eight Ways to Foster the Development of High-Capacity Leaders on Your Team

Most teams are a mix of people with varying amounts of experience, backgrounds, talents, and abilities. While some team members may just be beginning their careers or journey, others may be further along in their development. On my team, we have everything from a teenager working his first part-time job to my pastor and boss with over 50 years of experience in ministry and dozens of people in between. 

Those further along in their leadership journey likely need to be guided differently than those just starting. Team members further along in their development are more likely to be high-capacity leaders. High-capacity leaders can be challenging to manage. They have high expectations for themselves and others, a constant drive for growth, and are impatient with mediocrity. Many times, it is hard to keep them satisfied or even to hold on to them at all. So, what can a leader do to manage a high-capacity leader?

  1. Grow Yourself –You are the pacemaker for your team. You set the example. If you set a culture of personal growth, you will inspire many of your team members to grow themselves. You will also make the high-capacity leaders on your team feel as though they are in a growth environment. 
  2. Give Them What They Need to Succeed – Don’t hold your high-capacity leaders back. Give them the tools that they need to succeed. Give them the freedom to do their work without being micromanaged. Give them the ability to try new things. Don’t tie them down to doing the same things all the time. Give them room to work and let them take your organization to the next level.
  3. Give Them Good Work – High-capacity leaders get things done, but that doesn’t mean you should give them the worst jobs because you know they will do it. Give them the best projects to benefit the organization while at the same time stretching their leadership abilities. 
  4. Share How They Are Making a Positive Impact – High-capacity leaders typically like to know that they are being productive and making a difference. Share with them and others how they are making a difference. This could be as simple as commenting to them in the hall about something you noticed they did well or sharing their success with the whole team. The occasional card – or even gift card – also goes a long way.
  5. Encourage and Pay for Personal & Professional Development – Continue to invest in their growth. Buy them books. Send them to the conference. Hire them a coach. Bring in a consultant. Give them some money to take another leader to lunch. Help them grow their network which will broaden their horizons, provide new insights, and help them develop valuable connections outside the organization.
  6. Challenge Them to Think Bigger and Risk More – High-capacity leaders often already think big but challenge them to think even bigger. This excites the individual and lets them know they are in an environment where they will grow more.   Often, they will rise to the challenge, bringing even bigger results than what they were already achieving. 
  7. Support Work-life Balance: High-capacity leaders can sometimes be prone to burnout. Encourage your team members to maintain a healthy work-life balance and model it yourself. Encourage them to take time off when needed, promote flexible working arrangements, and create an environment where self-care is prioritized.
  8. Pray for Them – As a pastor, I believe the most important thing you can do for your team is pray for them. Check-in with them regularly to know what is happening in their life. Pray for them, their family if they have one, and their job/ministry. 

High-capacity leaders can be hard to manage. Left unsupported, they can become discouraged or even leave the organization. But doing a few simple things can go a long way to seeing them grow and achieve even more than ever before.

  11. Ich flippe aus bei DrueGlueck Casino, es bietet eine krasse Spielerfahrung. Die Spielauswahl im Casino ist gigantisch, mit Casino-Spielen, die fur Kryptos optimiert sind. Der Casino-Kundenservice ist der Hammer, liefert klare und schnelle Losungen. Casino-Transaktionen sind simpel und zuverlassig, manchmal wurde ich mir mehr Casino-Promos wunschen. Am Ende ist DrueGlueck Casino ein Casino, das man nicht verpassen darf fur Fans moderner Casino-Slots! Extra die Casino-Oberflache ist flussig und mega cool, einen Hauch von Wahnsinn ins Casino bringt.

  13. J’apprecie enormement 1xbet Casino, on dirait une aventure pleine de frissons. La selection de jeux est monumentale, offrant des sessions de casino en direct immersives. Le service d’assistance est de premier ordre, repondant en un clin d’?il. Les gains sont verses en un temps record, neanmoins les bonus pourraient etre plus reguliers. En resume, 1xbet Casino ne decoit jamais pour les passionnes de jeux numeriques ! Notons egalement que le design est visuellement percutant, ajoute une touche de raffinement a l’experience.

No fim das contas, Flabet Casino oferece uma experiencia de cassino que e puro gas para os amantes de cassinos online! Alem disso a navegacao do cassino e facil como brincadeira, aumenta a imersao no cassino a mil.

  15. Je trouve completement fou Instant Casino, ca donne une energie de casino survoltee. La selection de titres de casino est dingue, proposant des sessions de casino live qui dechirent. Le crew du casino assure un suivi de ouf, garantissant un support de casino direct et efficace. Les retraits au casino sont rapides comme un missile, par moments plus de tours gratos au casino ca serait ouf. Dans le fond, Instant Casino est un spot de casino a ne pas rater pour les fans de casinos en ligne ! Et puis le site du casino est une tuerie graphique, facilite le delire total au casino.

  16. Ich liebe den Wahnsinn von DrueGlueck Casino, es liefert einen einzigartigen Adrenalinkick. Die Spielauswahl im Casino ist gigantisch, inklusive stylischer Casino-Tischspiele. Das Casino-Team bietet erstklassige Unterstutzung, sorgt fur sofortigen Casino-Support. Der Casino-Prozess ist klar und ohne Haken, ab und zu die Casino-Angebote konnten gro?zugiger sein. Kurz gesagt ist DrueGlueck Casino eine Casino-Erfahrung, die rockt fur die, die mit Stil im Casino wetten! Nebenbei das Casino-Design ist ein optischer Volltreffer, Lust macht, immer wieder ins Casino zuruckzukehren.
