Leaders Take the Time for Counsel

Proverbs 20:18 (AMP) Purposes and plans are established by counsel; and [only] with good advice make or carry on war.

Of course, you might say, leadership asks for advice. Not according to a new survey of 1,400 leaders and managers (by the Ken Blanchard Group) as reported in by Nic Paton www.Management-issues.com.  It seems that a whopping 81 per cent of the respondents reported that leaders failed to listen or involve others in the process of planning. Listening to the team and collaborating drives businesses success. God, who promised us wisdom, often imparts His wisdom through others and the growing success of groups like Christ@work (http://www.fcci.org/) or www.wisecounselonline.com/ or Internal Coalition of Workplace Ministries (http://www.icwm.net/) demonstrates the benefits of wise, Biblically based business counsel.

Are you connected for wise counsel?
