Room to Grow But Samuel was ministering before the Lord-a boy wearing a linen ephod . . . And the boy Samuel continued to grow in stature and in favor with the Lord and with men . . . The boy Samuel ministered before the Lord under Eli . . .The Lord was with Samuel. 1 Samuel 2:18,26, 3:1, 19 (NIV) Leaders in some organizations dont recognize the importance of creating a climate conducive to building potential leaders. To see the relationship between environment and growth, look at nature. One popular aquarium fish is the shark. The reason is that sharks adapt to their environment. If you catch a small shark and confine it, it will stay a size proportionate to the aquarium in which it lives. Sharks can be six inches long yet fully mature. But if you turn them loose in the ocean, they grow to their normal size. The same is true of potential leaders. Some are put into an organization when they are still small, and the confining environment ensures that they stay small and under-developed. Only leaders can control the environment of their organization. They can be the change agents who create a climate conducive to growth. Excerpt from Developing the Leaders Around You
