Leadership Issues: Change Part 3
Changing with Times-Nehemiah 7:1, 2
Two emotions usually follow a great achievement: first, a sigh of relief and celebration; and second, a sense of . . .now what?
How we handle achievement tells us a lot about our character. The period following a success – become a dangerous time. Sometimes we feel tempted toward complacency, especially if we lack another goal. We can become satisfied and let down on guard. Momentum leaks.
The moment of victory is a crucial time for an organization. The leader must be able to change – or face a transitional problem. The transitional problem occurs when the leader does not know how to grow with the organization. Nehemiah’s life illustrates the problem:
Two Types of Leadership Seasons

| 2. Designer: Thinks it up | 2. Developer: Follows it up |
| 3. Motivator: Encourages | 3. Manager: Organizes |
| 4. Entrepreneur: Relies on self | 4. Executive: Relies on others |
