Thriving In The Midst Of Uncertainty - Part 1

O our God, will you not judge them. For we have no power to face this vast army that is attacking us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are upon you.
2 Chronicles 20:12

Uncertainty is a permanent part of all progress; it never goes away! Furthermore, uncertainty isn’t an indication of poor leadership; it just underscores the need for it; it’s the environment in which good leadership is most often discovered. As a leader, you may think you should always know what to do, but in reality there’ll be very few occasions when you are absolutely certain. Since you’ll constantly be called on to make decisions with limited information, your goal should not be to eliminate uncertainty, but to develop the ability to be courageous and clear in the midst of it. As you rise through the ranks, you’ll be called upon to make decisions regarding relationships, money, time, values, opportunities and disputes. Eventually, your decisions will show up on the bottom line and there, in the clear light of day, your leadership will be judged. And there’s something else you need to know: in that realm it takes longer to recognize your brilliance or stupidity, because you’re forced to lead for long periods of time without the benefit of knowing whether or not you made the right decision. And by the time your crop starts coming in, it's too late to change your agricultural procedure. You have to wait until the next planting season. But don’t let that throw you. It’s not your job to remove uncertainty; it’s your job to inspire clarity, courage and progress in the midst of it. When you can do that, you’re a leader!
