I had a boss before going into ministry that was serious about training. Someone once asked him, “What happens when these people you’re training leave to go to another company?”

He answered, “That’s always a possibility. But what really scares me is what happens if I don’t train them and they stay?”

I’ve never forgotten that and try to live by it. I need to train my staff and help them develop new skills.

That means: conference, seminars, books, lunches with other leaders, and visiting other environments.
