The High Drama of Decision Making
Leadership Summit :: Session 1 :: Bill Hybels
TRIAL DECISION MAKING
- What does the Bible say?
- What would smart advisers advise me to do?
- What have you learned from:
- the Pains of Past decisions?
- the Gains of Past decisions?
- the Experiences of the Past?
- Is the Holy Spirit prompting me? Romans 8:6
- Leaders take the call of making the decision and take the responsibility of the decision.
- If a decision comes out well, thank those who were involved
- If a decision comes out bad, you take the blame.
