How many leaders want to go back to the “good old days” when life was much simpler? Often we wish to go back to a time that we feel was safer and felt much more in control. Leaders, this is an illusion! Don’t go there!
When we take our churches, organizations, and thought processes back to an earlier time, we run the risk of contracting Leadership and Organizational Regression. Though it feels safe, the “good old days” were not that good. In reality, going there can, in worst cases, destroy your organization.
“Been there. Done that” was cute when said by Forrest Gump but is not a leadership statement. Leaders should be “Going there. Doing that.” For leaders, the best days are always in front of us. Leaders by definition are taking people somewhere. They love breaking new ground.
Choose Innovation. Choose Spontaneity. Reject Regression. Reject Repackaging and Recycling Old Ideas.
Leaders, yesterday ended last night. Seize the day. Make a difference. Be the leader you were created to be. And for the sake of your leadership and all those you are responsible for, keep moving forward!
