"Without consultation, plans are frustrated, but with many counselors they succeed." -Proverbs 15:22 (NASB)
When learning about leadership there are different models that managers or leaders can use to make decisions. Two that are advocated in the text for the course I am taking are consultation and joint decision making. In thinking about my studies and career, I have benefited from leaders that have helped me grow through including me in decision making processes through consultation and joint decision making.
As I continue to study leadership, some of the discussions with classmates and professors lead back to the Bible and the examples of leadership found throughout the Bible. God is the ultimate leader. He has provided us with examples to follow. In Proverbs, we hear about the need for consultation and working together to reach success. At work, in our families, and in our churches, we need to heed the advice to consult with each other, counsel each other, and together work for the glory of God!
Consult with and counsel each other in order to be better leaders for God!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for the examples of leadership You provide for me throughout the Bible. Help me to heed Your advice and follow Your direction so I can become a leader for You and Your Kingdom. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
