Sometimes, you get conflicting words of advice, one which is good and the other which is not, and it requires discernment to determine which is the right advice to follow. But often, these seeming contradictions are, in reality, complementary and, when used appropriately and in the right way, can work together to help you make better decisions. In this series of articles and podcast episodes, we are looking at different leadership ideas or principles that seem to contradict, are opposite sides of the same coin, or at least differ from each other, and we are pairing them up to see how they actually complement each other to make you a better leader. Last week, in part 12, we talked about the importance of using our ears more than our mouths, and this week, in part 13, we talk about the value of using our words well.

Thank you, everybody. This is Jeff McMaster, and you have been listening to the Leadership Ezra podcast, where we connect biblical truth with wisdom, and apply it to the practice of leadership. Come back next time to hear me once again connect these dots of Faith…Wisdom…and Leadership. And don't forget to order a copy of my book, “Leadership Ezra,” available on Amazon.
