Leadership: Wind Chaser

This morning while reflecting on the wisdom of King Solomon in his book entitled Ecclesiastes, I was struck by his many mentions "chasing the wind." The context: that much of what we do - without honoring God - is like chasing the wind.

Ever been in a situation that you felt as if you are a "Wind Chaser?" Ever find yourself simply going wherever your current projects, employees, or customers are pushing you? Ever look back on you day or week or even year and wonder what you really achieved?

Lesson learned: without a solid, powerful purpose for your business (that is, a compelling reason to exist) and your role (to envision, engage, and execute), you will find yourself becoming a "Wind Chaser", perpetually busy but unproductive.
