In this episode of the Vance Pitman Leadership Podcast, Vance and Scott take a trip down memory lane to revisit some lessons from one of the hardest years in modern history and how we can apply those in whatever way God has given us leadership! Buckle up and dive into these 10 lessons!

10 LESSONS FROM 2020

Change is not an option but the way we respond to it is.
If we don’t leverage technology, we will be left behind
Technology is a powerful servant but a dangerous master
Game changing circumstances create game defining moments for people to shine
The mission doesn’t stop in moments of crisis
You’re communicating whether you know it or not…so do it often and do it well.
Encouragement really is encouraging
A simple “Thank you” goes a long way
When the house is on fire priorities become very clear
Every obstacle is an opportunity

Notes from today's epsiode:

Four Characteristics of Wise Leaders from Proverbs 30:

1. Wise Leaders Plan Ahead

Questions for leaders to process and evaluate:
- How much time do you spend planning?
- How much time do you spend executing the plan?
- How much time do you spend responding to things that come up when executing the plan?

"Planning may not take the most time, but it should take the most priority!"

2. Wise Leaders Think Strategically

We as leaders MUST know what their mission is; because mission leads to strategy which is what will ultimately fulfill the mission.

If you are doing anything in your organization that is not aimed at accomplishing the mission, you are not thinking strategically
