It's lonely at the top. That's the old adage. But does it have to be? God built us to be in community. That doesn't stop when we're put in a position of authority (meaning we have the power to influence the thoughts, opinions, and behaviors of others). The world says when we are in "authority" we have "arrived" to a place where we have no need of additional voices, learning or growth. If anything, that position makes it even MORE important that the leader is in community with people who can hold them accountable, speak into their lives, and to encourage and edify them. And listening and receiving feedback is a part of being in community. John Maxwell once said that every day, he goes up to a team member and asks them "How can I be a better leader for you today?" .... Who will YOU ask that question of in your workplace today?
