When you're launching something new, you're fighting to survive the first year, not planning a decade ahead. As leaders gain experience and tenure, their vision expands. But early on, the focus is necessarily short-term.
Chapters
Yeah, I've, I've heard the saying that good leaders think in decades, not months or years. Do you think in decades, or how far out do you usually think? Well, and I know it's very hard because obviously that's a long time and the Lord is going to do a lot of things within that 10 years. Um, but how far out are you looking? You mentioned a calendar, like, okay, this 6 months we're doing this, this 6 months, so a year ahead. Yeah.
And I think like in the beginning of my time at Bethel, like I didn't have decades, you know what I mean? I think it's important to know that sometimes you sit down with people that are leaders and have led for 25 years and we go, oh yeah, we think a decade ahead. Well, that's not reality that when you're first starting opening up a business, opening up, you know, something like you're doing, like you don't think decades ahead. You're thinking about how am I going to make this last a year? Yeah. How am I going to stay in this cool Studio, you know what I mean? So I think the more that you do it, the further out that you begin to see.
