Lead by listening
By Rachel Swartzendruber Miller
Page 18
Have you ever held a listening role in a group or committee? How did it feel?
Swartzendruber Miller states: "True leadership is a two-part equation. First, a leader must let their people go ... The second half of this equation is the most important: After the people are set free to let their minds run wild, a leader must listen to what comes forth." Is this statement applicable to any work you do in church, home or vocationally?
