Lessons on Leadership from the Little Things in Life: Eating an Elephant

from Leadership Ezra

Life is full of examples that teach us lessons. That’s why stories and illustrations make learning so much more effective. When a story can be used to illustrate or demonstrate a valuable lesson, the story makes it much more understandable, relatable, and memorable. With that in mind, I want to take some time to do just that – share examples of circumstances and stories experienced in everyday life which illustrate leadership lessons that we can learn and apply. This is one of those examples, and it is a lesson that came from difficulty.Thank you, everybody. This is Jeff McMaster, and you have been listening to the Leadership Ezra podcast, where we connect biblical truth with wisdom, and apply it to the practice of leadership. Come back next time to hear me once again connect these dots of Faith…Wisdom…and Leadership. And don't forget to order a copy of my book, “Leadership Ezra,” available on Amazon.
