Proverbs 14: 8 (NLT) The wise look ahead to see what is coming, but fools deceive themselves.
Effective leaders not only understand the business purpose (its vision) but also they clearly understand the mission and they observe what is happening today while looking ahead, determining strategy based not just on some static document, but on the reality of a dynamic marketplace. They know the difficulties of the mission and break through them while not violating the core values that shape the culture. These behaviors do not happen in a vacuum - they are shaped by the values of the leader. Believing leaders value their Creator's insights, and follow His guidelines, consult Him in prayer and meditation, asking for wisdom to be acutely aware of what is coming not only in the business, but also, more importantly, in the shaping of their lives to be more like Christ.
Who and what do you value?
