My Christmas Blessing #19

I was in a meeting today and someone defined a leader as one who provides answers and direction to a team.  I understood their concept even though I disagreed with the application.

In fact, I have a different theory.

 

Good leaders sometimes allow a little chaos and confusion to prevail. In fact ..

 It can be best for everyone.

• It often provides the best discoveries.
• It promotes buy in.
• It fuels creativity.
• It fosters teamwork.

As the team wrestles together for answers great discoveries are made; about the team and the individuals on the team.   If the leader always has everything clearly defined, is always ready with an answer, then why does he or she need a team?

How true is this with life!  Sometimes the answers are easy to find and apply and sometimes they seem just beyond our grasp.  I have a little chaos going on in my life right now; yet I am happy with it.  It is because, soon, the answer will be black and white.  The chaos is just a few steps of challenge to success.  How grateful I am for the wisdom and experience to understand this and I appreciate the blessings that it brings because ..

I ride the dark horse ..
