Leaders Learn With the Head and the Heart

Proverbs 18:15 (MSG) Wise men and women are always learning, always listening for fresh insights. (NIV) The heart of the discerning acquires knowledge; the ears of the wise seek it out.

Knowledge. Always learning, looking for more - reading management journals or books on leadership. Filling our minds with facts, concepts and diligently connecting the dots. The acquiring of this learning we most often associate with the mind. Not the heart. Heart knowledge changes the meaning in this verse. True, leaders are life-long learners; however, Biblical leaders practice prudent learning learning that seeks out and experiences God. Learning that changes the way we live and how we impact others.

Are you learning to lead – God’s way?
