  1. ****Please note this is not the OP/Subject just the introduction**** I’m going to start a series about Leadership on WCF and how it applies to Christians today. My hope is to encourage others to grow and mature in their walk with the Lord. I also would like to see people reach their full potential in leadership in reaching those around them for Christ and making disciples in fullfilling the Great Commission. Here's what we've discussed and looked at from a Scriptural perspective so far: God bless, GE ------------------------------------ *****This is the OP and subject to this thread below***** Leadership - 4. The Law of the Navigation: Anyone Can Steer the Ship, But It Takes a Leader to Chart the Course "A leader is one who sees more than others see, who sees farther than others see, and who sees before others do." - Leroy Eims The larger the organization, the more clearly the leader has to be able to see ahead. That's true because sheer size makes midcourse corrections more difficult. And if there are errors, many more people are affected than when you're traveling alone or with only a few people. The disaster shown with the sinking of the Titanic comes to mind. First there were over 2,200 passengers and another nearly 900 crew on board. There were only 20 lifeboats on board the ship that could only account for about half of those onboard in the event the call to abandon the ship was made. Second the crew could not see far enough ahead to avoid the iceberg altogether, and they could not maneuver enough to change course once the object was spotted because of the size of the ship - the largest built at the time. The result was that more than one thousand people lost their lives. I like air planes. Occasionally you hear about the crash of four military planes flying together in formation. What is often the cause for the loss of all 4 planes? The reason for the loss of all four is this - When jet fighters fly in a group of four there is a designated pilot who is the lead plane and he/she designate where the team will fly. The other three planes fly on the leader's wing, watching him and following him wherever he goes. Whatever moves he makes, the rest of the team will make along with him. that's true wether he soars in the clouds or smashes into a mountaintop. Navigators do 4 things: 1. They draw on past experience. Every past success and failure can be a source of information and wisdom - if it is allowed to be. Successes help us understand what works while failures show us where assumptions/methods were flawed. Ultimately all wisdom is from God, God guides those who have been saved by His Holy Spirit, and our guide physically is His Word. Prov. 14:16 One who is wise is cautious and turns away from evil, but a fool is reckless and careless. Col 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. 2. They listen what others have to say. Particularly those who are experts in whatever field in question. "No matter how much learn from the past, it will never tell you all you need to know for the present." - John C. Maxwell Prov. 11:14 Where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety. Prov. 12:15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice. Prov. 15:22 Without counsel plans fail, but with many advisers they succeed. Prov. 18:1 Whoever isolates himself seeks his own desire; he breaks out against all sound judgment. 3. They examine the conditions before making commitments. Good navigators count the cost before making commitments for themselves and others. Proverbs 13:16 A wise man thinks ahead; a fool doesn’t, and even brags about it! Proverbs 24:27 Prepare your work outside and make it ready for yourself in the field; afterwards, then, build your house. Luke 14:28-30 For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it? Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish.’ 4. They make sure their conclusions represent both faith and fact. This usually means having a positive attitude and a willingness to take risks. It also means trusting in God sometimes even when the facts don't always point in the direction we'd like. Proverbs 16:1 The plans of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue is from the Lord. If a leader can't navigate the people through rough waters, he is liable to sink the ship. Opening questions: A. What are some examples in the Bible of the leaders who navigated through tough times and won? (A few examples come to mind like Moses, Solomon, Nehemiah... These might be a good starting point?) B. What are some examples in the Bible of leaders who refused to navigate through tough times and their people suffered as a result? Your thoughts? God bless, GE * Assume I'm using this source for all my posts on this thread: Leadership material from John C. Maxwell including the "21 Laws of Leadership" and "The Maxwell Leadership Bible - NKJ"
