Ralph Heath, Leaders Must Surround Themselves With Fearless People, 4/17/09
After reading this article I took some time to evaluate who is currently surrounding me, speaking into my life. Do I give them the freedom, the right, the opportunity to tell me the truth, from their perspective, without facing any negative consequences? Am I afraid to hear the truth?
I realize that everyone has a blind-side. There are things that we just can't see or perhaps refuse to see. It is a real blessing to have people that care enough for me, that feel our relationship is secure enough, that they will share with me things I don't see.
Whether you view yourself as a leader or not, we all need to have people in our lives that will have the freedom to speak the truth to us.
"Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ". Ephesians 4:15 (NIV)
Take a moment and ask yourself, "who surrounds me and have I given them the permission to speak truth into my life".
