AKL Module 9.4 – Launch Leaders: I.R.T.L.S.

📌 Overview
In this lesson, we explore the process of launching leaders into greater levels of responsibility and impact. You’ll discover that effective mentoring is not complete until leaders are released to lead, build, and take ownership of vision.

This session emphasizes the importance of timing, preparation, and clarity, helping leaders launch others in a way that sets them up for success rather than failure.


📖 Scripture Focus:
“Then He appointed twelve, so that they would be with Him and that He could send them out to preach.”

Mark 3:14 (NASB)


Key Takeaways:

✅ Launching is a critical step in mentoring and must be done with intentional timing and preparation.

✅ Premature launching can lead to failure, frustration, and harm to both the individual and the organization.

✅ Leaders must ensure readiness in character, skill, and knowledge before launching others.

✅ Clear vision is essential – leaders must understand what they are building and what success looks like.

✅ Building a team and establishing structure before launch increases effectiveness and sustainability.
