Jesus said, "Why do you seek after people's approval but do not seek the approval that comes only from God?" He was an effective leader because he had internal anchors. He did not get his approval from external mechanisms. His actions were not based on what Peter, John and James thought. He didn't come unglued when John the Baptist began to doubt him. He didn't care whether Cesar smiled or frowned.
Have you ever experienced that euphoric bubble when you finally reach a decision that you know is right? People have various names for it - feeling centered, being right on, being in a state of grace. Those who have experienced this feeling say there is nothing to compare to it. One woman said it was like being at sea and hearing only silence, even though she could see people waving their arms on the shore. Here is how she described it: "Nothing mattered as much to me as that still, silent point of being. Everything else seemed meaningless...almost like it was just a puppet show." She said she had never felt closer to God, even though the decision she made upset many people around her.
CEO Divine leader has a backbone like a rod of steel when it comes to doing the right thing. You may have to search for it, but once you hit the harmonic "C" - the note that matches perfectly with your soul - you, God and destiny will be one harmonious sound. And others will stop, perk up their ears, and begin to gather around.
Jesus had internal anchors.
1. What are your internal anchors?
