“The terrible thing, the almost impossible thing, is to hand over your whole self- all your wishes and precautions to Christ!” --- C.S. Lewis

Points of Leadership is all about equipping leaders in maximizing their leadership for the people they lead and care for.

With just a few days left in this year, many organizations and companies have their plans laid out at least for the first quarter of 2026. Some of them even bring in outside consultants to help them develop their growth strategies for next year. Using smart goals and all that comes with it, organizations and companies have a nice package plan for their 2026 growth points. However, in a recent Havard Business Review article, these approaches in developing new year growth points might not be the best, especially for team members. This is because the people that implement and execute these nice, packaged growth points are not involved in the conception and development. That is typically not a great recipe for success.

In this episode, we provide some recommended growth points to consider with your teams, families or communities as you develop your growth points for 2026. These are some growth points our teams will be diving into. In alignment with the cited Havard Business Review, we emphasize the importance of providing clarity, transparency and courage as a starting point for your 2026 growth points.

As shared in our last episode, the best leaders know that it is what is routinely done and modeled that can be transferred to their teams. Additionally, the best leaders know it is critical to spend time with their teams to hear from each team member as they cast vision for the next year or quarter. In this last episode of the year, Dr. Feyi Obamehinti and Mrs. Kristin Jaeck discuss and share their growth points for next year, which is a critical year for the USA- as we celebrate 250 years of exceptionalism as a nation.

From developing skills that are crucial for our time, to embracing ethical use of technology as we advance in AI, leaders are faced with new first world problems that need long term solutions. These solutions come as growth points, and take intentionality, design and application. As always, the leadership principles we share on Points of Leadership are for any leader in any industry that desires to take care of those they lead well through the overflow of his or her life. So, pull up a chair, call a friend and take a listen and share with any industry leader in your life on these growth points for 2026.

As we close out this year with this episode, be reminded that no matter who you are, you belong to God (spirit, soul and body)- whether you have acknowledged God or not, whether you love or hate God, whether you have your entire 2026 strategy plan or not, God holds in His hands everything that pertains to you. So, as you prepare to dash into a new year- dare not go alone and without Christ, including all your growth points of 2026. We have been blessed to serve you this year! Thank you for engaging with us and for being a growing leader! From our team here at Points of Leadership, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
