Proverbs 14:4 (NIV)
Where there are no oxen, the manger is empty, but from the strength of an ox comes an abundant harvest.
Core Values are the promises the “team” makes to each other about how they will fulfill the mission and march to the beat of the vision. The budget puts teeth in those promises.
Whether personally or corporately, the heart follows the dollars – where your treasure is, there your heart will be.
As leaders, you may espouse one thing: your budget tells the team what you really believe.
Oh yes, budgeting is paradoxical: it is about both now and the future. Without the proper foundation (now) growth is limited (future). Does your budget reflect the promises of your values, your vision and your mission?
No oxen. No harvesting of the crop.
