Week 7, Day 1 - Strategy
February 16, 2014
"Many are the plans in a person’s heart,
but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails" - Proverbs 19:21.
To neglect strategy and replace it with wishful thinking has been the downfall of many leaders and the people and projects they lead. Every leader must help develop strategies to carry out changes and initiatives in businesses, families and organizations. These strategies involve plans for how to deploy people, distribute resources and spend time. Yet Joseph and Daniel showed that God also has strategies for countries and enterprises that He is willing to share with leaders who know and ask Him - and those are the strategies that have the greatest impact and lasting effects.
LEADERSHIP STEP: Do you believe that God has a strategy for the work you are doing? What's more, do you have faith that He will share it with you, and then help you carry it out? Attached is an article outlining the leadership strategy for an obscure biblical character, someone whom you have probably never considered before today. Read the article and then reflect on how his approach can be helpful to your own leadership at this point in your career.
