Leadership Lessons From Nehemiah – Chapter 2

Posted By on July 31, 2010

  • Be willing to share your burden/passion with those who ask
  • Take advantage of your connections who have power
  • Ask for what you want and don’t be ashamed
  • Have a plan
  • Be practical in knowing your needs and limitations
  • Allow God to develop the dream in you
  • Be willing to sacrifice for it (for Nehemiah this was in the form of sleep)
  • Get dirty in discovering the “mess” – because vision is in response to a problem
  • Honestly lay out the problem
  • Challenge others to work
  • Let people know you’ve heard from God
  • Have faith in the face of opposition
  • Don’t allow those with divisive plans close to the work
  • You don’t have to have new or creative ideas but just be willing to do what needs to be done
  • Share/Bookmark
