One of the biggest responsibilities of a leader is making decisions about complex problems that influence the bottom line. Leaders know with every decision comes a risk that could negatively or positively impact your finances, staff, or mission. The weight of that responsibility can often paralyze leaders who must make a tough call but fear the conflict that comes with it. On the flip side, well-meaning leaders who don’t take responsibility seriously may make hasty, destructive decisions that rumble up resentment among their staff.

When you see poverty, conflict, and injustice—you don’t turn away. Something in you stirs—your heart breaks for what breaks God’s heart. Others may say change is impossible, but you turn toward possibility.
