成為扶輪社的一員即代表他們是所屬社會中的領導者。為了使扶輪成功及扶輪社有效率，進一步的培養他們的領導能力，讓更多的扶輪社員能服務於扶輪社層級以上的領導職務是很重要的。此項任務必須由地區開始執行，做為地區總監，您須指派一群合格的領導人更進一步的奉獻扶輪他們的服務。

本章的內容談到了您在所屬地區內培養未來領導人的責任。做為地區總監當選人，您在參加社長當選人訓練研習會(PETS)和地區講習會議時要找出並指派地區領導人，並鼓勵扶輪社領導人培養成為有潛力的地區領導人的能力。一旦成為總監以後，您須持續的與扶輪社領導人在地區扶輪基金研習會、地區社員研習會、地區年會及地區領導研習會一起合作。藉由培養領導人會讓您使扶輪社更有效率，同時貴地區和國際扶輪兩者之間也會跟著強化。

Members of Rotary clubs have already proven themselves to be leaders in their communities. For Rotary to thrive and clubs to be effective, it is essential to further develop these leadership skills so that more Rotarians are prepared to serve in leadership roles beyond the club level. This work begins in the district, and as district governor, you are in a unique position to appoint a qualified group of leaders dedicated to furthering their service to Rotary.

This chapter covers your responsibilities for developing future leaders in your district. As district governor-elect, you will identify and appoint district leaders and encourage club leaders to develop their skills as potential district leaders at the presidents-elect training seminar (PETS) and the district assembly. Once you are governor, your work will continue with club leadership at the district Rotary Foundation seminar, district membership seminar, the district conference, and the district leadership seminar. By developing leaders, you will make clubs more effective, strengthening both your district and Rotary International.
