How To Develop Leaders – Dave Ferguson – The Nines

Posted on 09. Sep, 2009 by frank in Uncategorized

I love what Dave had to say about not underestimating the power of simple. He has a simple 5 step process for developing leaders by investing in people 1 at a time:

1 – I do you watch
2 – I do you help
3 – You do I help
4 – You do I watch
5 – You do and someone else watches

I love the simplicity in it and when I think about the leaders I’ve developed that is pretty much when things have worked out best. I think something important to remember about this method is that the simplicity can sometimes be interpreted as speed. We’ve got to remember that while we can use a process to simplify things we cant assume that everyone will move through the process at the same pace. Some will take months, while others take years. Soon “The Nines” will be available for download. When it is I will post the link.
