Ep. 59 | Five Keys to Developing Future Leaders

In this powerful episode of the History Makers Leadership Podcast, host Daniel Drewski sits down with David Daniels to unpack one of the most critical challenges facing organizations and movements today. Finding, developing, and empowering the next generation of leaders might be the most significant challenge facing today's Christian leaders. Without a clear framework for identifying potential and a process for nurturing growth, organizations risk stagnation and missed kingdom opportunities.

In this transformative conversation, seasoned marketplace leader David Daniels shares his proven "Five C's" framework for identifying and developing emerging leaders. With over 35 years of leadership experience at Chick-fil-A, overseeing hundreds of team members, David brings practical wisdom that works across any leadership context—whether business, ministry, or community service.

David also unpacks the four questions every team member silently asks: Do you see me? Do you hear me? Do you believe in me? Do I belong here? Leaders who answer these questions create environments where emerging leaders can flourish.

Whether you're building a business, leading a ministry, or developing a community, these insights will help you create a culture that champions growth, accountability, and legacy.
