Mark Evans, my pastor, surrounds himself with incredible people. Whenever he has a big decision to make, he always has a certain number of people that he leans on for advice and to be sounding boards. Now, make no mistake, he makes the final call and everyone knows that, but he always seems to listen as he is making tough decisions. I believe that is big time leadership and incredible security. You see a leader who wants all the credit for everything or is worried about looking inadequate can never take the risk of asking for others help. The leader who is worried about those things is more concerned with himself than he is with what he is leading.
Next time you are in charge and calling the shots, surround yourself with people you trust and can lean on for wisdom. Remember, Leadership is not about making the decisions on your own, it is about owning the decision once it is made.
