AKL Module 9.5 – Support Leaders: I.R.T.L.S.

📌 Overview
In this lesson, we explore the final phase of mentoring – support. You’ll discover that leadership development does not end when someone is launched, but continues through intentional care, feedback, and relational connection.

This session emphasizes that effective leaders do not just delegate responsibility, but actively support those they have raised up, ensuring long-term growth, health, and success.


📖 Scripture Focus:
“Therefore encourage one another and build one another up…”

1 Thessalonians 5:11 (NASB)


Key Takeaways:

✅ Support is essential for sustaining leadership growth and long-term success.

✅ Delegation without support leads to discouragement, failure, and burnout.

✅ Effective support includes both feedback and nurture – encouragement and correction.

✅ Leaders should prioritize consistent, intentional connection with those they are developing.

✅ Strong support systems require structure, discipline, and time investment.
