Relationships can get messy; people often harbor personal agendas and attempt to mask their true motives. Leaders must practice discernment. They must read the people, then lead. Understand the timing, situation, priorities, then act accordingly. Their action depends upon how they read these factors. Discernment always precedes decision. Analysis always precedes action..: Leadership PromisesEzra4:3 `But Zerubbabel . . . said to them, `You may do nothing with us to build a house for our God; but w e alone will build' ... "

It's true that the greater your dream is, the greater the people who will be attracted to you. But you need to make sure they're compatible. Does this person want to go? Able to go? Not everyone will take the journey, though you may be able to help one another down the road as friends and colleagues-Maxwell, Leadership PromisesJohn6:60 "Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard this, said `This is a hard saying, who can understand it'?"

Golf has taught me a valuable lesson: Even if you know where you want to go, if you're not lined up right, you'll never get to your desired destination. That's true of personal preparation as well as for golf. Good alignment makes success possible. Courage has no greater ally than preparation, and fear has no greater enemy...-Maxwell, Leadership PromisesLuke12:47 "And that servant who knew his master's will, and did not prepare himself or do according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes."

We should not only understand the importance of our waiting on God but also realize something even more wonderful--the Lord waits on us. Waiting in the sunshine of His love or waiting under clouds of trials are as important, for they will ultimately produce showers of blessings.

If you have food on your table, clothes on your back, a roof over your head, and a place to sleep tonight, you are richer than 75% of the rest of the people in the world. If you have savings in the bank, money in your wallet, and coins in a piggy bank, or a dish in your night stand, you are among an elite 8% of the world's population. What you have belongs to the Lord--it will free you of a great obligation and allow you to become a tool in His hands...-Sala, Refuge2Cor8:5 "And they did not do as we expected, but they gave themselves first to the

Lord and then to us in keeping with God's will."

unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living."

If someone on the team continually puts themselves and their agenda ahead of what's best for the team, they have proven themselves to be undependable. When it comes to teamwork, motives matter.

The final quality of a dependable team player is consistency. If you can't depend on teammates all the time, then you can't really depend on them any of the time. Dependability means more than just wanting to take responsibility. That desire must also be coupled with good judgement to be of real value to the team..: Maxwell, Leadership Promises.Heb11:8 "By faith Abraham, . . . called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed."

The one who dies with the biggest pile isn't the winner; it's the one who has most wisely used whatever resources were within his or her grasp. The rich and famous take exactly the same amount as the widow who dies in poverty or the child who dies before her first birthday. We all take the same amount with us--nothing...-Sala, Refuge And Strength.Job1:21 "I came naked from my mother's womb, and I will be stripped of everything when I die.

​

What we call the process, God calls the end. What men call training and preparation, God calls the end. God's end is to enable me to see that He can walk on the chaos of my life just now. It is the process, not the end, which is glorifying to God..: Chambers, My Utmost For His Highest..Mark6:48. J52 "He saw that they were in serious trouble, rowing hard and struggling against the wind and waves.- for they still didn't understand the significance of the miracle of the loaves.
