Good leaders reach out to others

"Without consultation, plans are frustrated. But, with many counselors they succeed." - Proverbs 15:22
Many are the times when people error all because of ego and pride thinking that if i go seek advice ill be looked upon as less updated,or stupid or less read...but i have come to realize,however much knowledge and wisdom we may posses there can never be a complete person without seeking counsel and advise from our eders or even our juniors.
In the bible there was a similar relationship between Solomon and Hiram, the king of the Phoenicians. Solomon recognized that he needed others to help him fulfill his mission. He needed people with insight and resources he did not have. The Phoenicians were great ship builders and a great seafaring people. Hiram had been a friend of King David and when he heard that Solomon was the new king, he reached out to him and offered his assistance. Solomon had enough humility as a leader to recognize that he needed not only people within his own nation, but people of other nations, people outside his place of responsibility.
Good leaders reach out to others, collecting wisdom and support from every source available. Remember, God’s Word tells us to seek wise counsel. It worked for Solomon, it will work for you.
I thank all who have always advised and stood with me all through,i just want to let you know you are always remembered in my prayers and may God almighty expand your terriories!
i love you all!
