I am very blessed to work with a staff that is dedicated to protecting me as a leader from endless piles of clutter. My wife also really helps me with this.
Visionaries (at least that’s what I aspire to be) have a hard time with details. It’s not that we can’t do details. It’s just that they sap us of energy and block our line of sight.
So every step I take toward handing off the day to day responsibilities of Elevation to someone with an administrative anointing (yes, I believe there is such a thing) is a step toward the big picture success and progress of our church.
Like today I had time to fill up my whiteboard with some big picture goals and initiatives for 2007. If I was balancing the checkbook, designing graphics, or ordering microphones, I’d never get to dream. And this verse plainly states what happens when time to dream disappears.
The downside to a leader having time to dream and imagine?
Increased workloads all the way around!
The upside?
Fresh perspective and new levels.
Here’s to leading clutter free!
