Counsel

From the book Minute Motivators for Leaders, by Stan Toler:


'...the leader who advises himself has a fool for a counselor. The Scriptures teach us that there is wisdom in many counselors. Each of us has a "web of wisdom" that we may resource for the solution to a problem or the direction of a plan. The web consists of wise and learned relatives, friends, or associates who have graduated from the school of experience. 


Nobody succeeds alone.


The best leaders surround themselves with bright lights. They know that they are not above the advice of their subordinates. Since their team members were chosen because of their knowledge and skill, they are a well of ideas. Good leaders will draw confidently from that well with quiet regularity.


Good leaders know they need advice, and they seek it.'
