Leadership Intuition

If you try to lead by everything you’ve been taught about leadership, you will likely fail. At all times we must be open to the possibility that what we thought we knew is wrong. Instead, trust your gut. Intuition must be a component of decision making, especially in complex or chaotic situations, where it may be more accurate and reliable than rationalization based on past experience.
-- Leonard Sweet, Summoned to Lead

This works best when your "gut" is solidly grounded in the faith. (Sorry about the mixed metaphor.)- Ed

Saying "Yes"

Moses spends forty years answering the Voice that spoke out of the bush…Nowhere does the Bible romanticize mystery or exalt religious experience for its own sake. What remains central in each instance is the response of the person to what beckons through the mystery. And the essence of faithful response is the willingness to be drawn forth completely by what calls from the heart of the mystery. What matters supremely is the “yes,” the letting go, the yielding to a whole new way.
--Steve Doughty, To Walk in Integrity
