Proverbs 13: 20 (NLT) Whoever walks with the wise will become wise; whoever walks with fools will suffer harm.
In life and especially business, those with whom you "hang around" will shape you. The wise are those who not only recognize God's existence but also the personal impact of a God “who was never alone but became alone so that we might have a personal relationship with Him.” [Pastor [Doug Webster]
Since the Creator is preeminent, these wise people work at being honest about themselves and seek to support others. They recognize that everyone has strengths and weaknesses. They openly, passionately and respectfully engage in exploring ideological conflicts without becoming defensive or scornful of a contrary opinion. The exchange of ideas is more important than just their idea. After discussion, debate and a final decision, they support a team decision as if it were their own. No time for false pride, bad language or bitter rivalry in this group.
Are you a small-business person? Build the executive team with the wise and expect cohesion and increased productivity. Large, corporate person? Build your advisory team with wise people.
Hang with the spiritually wise and become wiser.
