What possible connection could Emily Dickinson and Nehemiah have?

You might be surprised!

In today’s episode, you’ll see how the ancient leader Nehemiah employed three leadership practices just as relevant today as 2,500 years ago.

1. Distinguish between practices that are appropriate for an emergency or a season but aren’t sustainable in the long run. Have an exit strategy for temporary solutions.

2. Call people to do hard things even when it seems way outside of their skill set. As Dickinson wrote, “We never know how high we are, Till we are asked to rise.” Good leaders know how to call and equip people to rise to occasions greater than they believe is possible.

3. Be willing to put up with some “stink” when it’s necessary to achieve worthy goals.
