Principles of Leadership, Day 7

Where will God use you? Read Proverbs 22:29.

This statement of practical wisdom is an interesting one. You see, it’s very true. If you do a good job at what you do, then most of the time people will notice and want those people to help them. Highly skilled people are in denand.

What does this mean for leadership? First, we are to be continually working to improve ourselves. While it is very true that God can put us anywhere and do anything he wants to through us,we must take responsibility to grow ourselves and learn what we can so that God has the best tool possible for the jobs he has for us.

Second, as leaders, we are to seek out skilled and talented individuals to be on our team. Then we are responsible for helping them to continue to grow, even if that means they move to other teams. Or even, if that person grows beyond us and one day we are reporting to them.

Let’s commit to seeking to grow ourselves and those around us today.
