Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you.
~ Saint Augustine
“Do not be afraid! Open the doors to Christ. God works in the concrete and personal affairs of each one of us. Don’t let the time that the Lord gives you run on as if everything is due to chance. With this expression of my hope I send you all, from the depth of my heart, my blessing.” ~ Saint Pope John Paul II

We can be a blessing to others in business by helping them grow. As leaders, our #1 job is to develop our people, but we can’t give others what we don’t have. If we are called to leadership, we must lead in a worthy manner and first develop ourselves as leaders.

Empathy is necessary to be a great leader, but it is not sufficient. Truly great leaders are compassionate. If we take an eternal perspective, considering the human impact not just the financial impact, it greatly benefits us, and our relationships with our co-workers and our customers, and that is good for business.

In business, we are trained to plan. Then, we measure our success by how well we meet or exceed our plans. We have to let go of our plans to live in the present. And, we need to be present if we are to hear the Lord speaking to us

No plan was ever executed without a few hitches, nor do all aspects of a plan bear fruit. They never do. Learn from failure, adjust, and/or move on. God always provides what we need to do what he asks of us. His grace is sufficient.

Practicing admiration, gratitude, generosity and humility help us to appreciate each other, and not compete with each other, so that we benefit from each other’s strengths. Now, that’s good for business!
