"How to Become a Cross-Generational Leader" No one in human history has ever demonstrated a greater ability to reach around his own generation, reach ahead of his generation, and reach behind his generation than Jesus.
Forward leaders do three things to influence a cross-generational audience:
1. Leading Relationally
People are no longer motivated to follow our leadership because we have a position or title. People are only motivated to follow our leadership when we show how deeply we care. We must take the time to build relationships with other people.
If we are going to overcome the generational divides that exists today, we have to lead relationally. This means we have to take the initiative with everyone.
2. Leading Respectfully
Cross-generational leaders respect other people. Caution: Forward leaders will be attacked, and when they are, they need to respond respectfully. Yesterday we read 1 Timothy 5:1-2. This passage pictures for us this very call to lead respectfully.
The generational divide ends in Jesus Christ. He brings everyone together. Value others. Respect others. Honor others. This is what forward leaders do.
3. Leading Responsibly
Leading responsibly sees the potential in others, regardless of their generation. Leading responsibly is getting to know other people, listening to them, and valuing who they are—not just what they can bring to your life and leadership.
Each of us makes a choice about how we lead others, view others, treat others, and value other daily. Today, pray: “Lord, fill me today with the Holy Spirit. Lord, compel me to see the potential in all people. Lord, build within me a desire to mentor and build up those in my sphere of influence.”

關於此計劃
Forward, focuses on seven distinguishing marks for leaders. In Forward, I call for a different kind of leader to rise up—a leader that guides people to a better future. These leaders—Forward leaders—are able to lead people to go further than they would have ever gone on their own.
