9 Leadership Principles from Proverbs 29

I love reading through the Proverbs.  They are full of great wisdom in the most practical arenas of life.  Here are nine leadership thoughts straight from Proverbs 29.

1. Be open to Godly rebuke...there is always something you can learn.

2. Acting justly is an important mark for every leader.

3. Pick your battles wisely. Many battles are never worth fighting.

4. There are always naysayers.  Part of leadership is learning to stay tuned into the vision even when there is outside noise.

5. Choose your words wisely and when to use them.

6. Vision matters.  Without it, people flounder.

7. Pride destroys.

8. Fear can never be the driver of faith.  

9. Leave room for God to be God and trust in His leading.
