Preparation matters. During each growth phase of our leadership journey, we discover areas of deficit and opportunities for self-reflection as we forge ahead. Those who can successfully navigate through the varied phases of change encountered along the way discover that each level of elevation requires a different version of them. Whether you lead from home, church, school, run your own business, or desire to rise the corporate ladder, the importance of understanding situational leadership is essential to balancing the person that you are today, with the person you are destined to become.
