In today’s business world, it’s important to understand the leadership role you must flow in and out of. Many of us tend to separate what we do professionally from what we do ministerially, but in order to expand the kingdom, it’s crucial to merge the two.
At the core of businestry is the idea of expressing oneself in service by administering a person’s gifts, talents, strengths, and abilities as God originally designed for them to operate. As you develop your businestry, it’s important to keep this in mind and understand how to lead and follow effectively.
In order to be an effective leader, it’s important to understand your own strengths and weaknesses, and to know when to step back and let others take the lead. One way to do this is by assessing yourself using the four quadrants. The first quadrant is the things that you love to do, the second quadrant is the things that you do very well, the third quadrant is the things that you can do, but don’t enjoy or are not best at, and the fourth quadrant is the things that you dislike doing. By understanding where you fall in each of these quadrants, you can make better decisions about where to focus your leadership efforts.
Being an excellent follower is about being humble and open-minded, and an often overlooked aspect of an effective leader. It means recognizing that others may have valuable insights and perspectives that you do not possess. It also means being willing to listen and learn from others, and to be flexible and adaptable in your approach.
Being a great follower also means being a team player. A great leader is someone who is willing to work together with their team, and to support and collaborate with others to achieve a common goal.
When it comes to decision-making, great leaders also know when to follow the lead of others. They trust their team members and give them the autonomy to make important decisions. They also know when to seek out the opinions and perspectives of others before making a decision.
In conclusion, businestry is about merging your professional and ministerial efforts to expand the kingdom. By understanding how to lead and follow effectively, and by assessing your own strengths and weaknesses, you can develop a successful businestry that is in line with your gifts, talents, and abilities.
