Leadership Ripples

Good leaders keep the organization moving. And this requires a strong leadership team that will enthusiastically assist, support and sell the vision. All this comes with repercussions or ripples So what are the ripples? – the requirement of renewed energy, the necessity of revision, requests for funds and flexibility, recommitment … Watch the ripples closely, as they can beautifully awaken and revitalize a pond gone stagnant. But these ripples can also be a source of irritation to those living comfortably on lily pads and logs, soaking up the sun and staring at their reflections in the calm water. Jesus did provide rest for the weary (Matthew 11:28) and he did calm stormy waters (Matthew 8:23-27), but he also stirred calm waters with his often agitating teaching and actions John 7 – 10). In fact his leadership team turned the whole world upside down (Acts 17:6). Leaders: don’t be afraid of the ripples!
