This week in my lecture series class, we had a guest speaker Dan Paxton, who talked about leadership. He said that everyone who can influence another person is a leader. Basically everyone is a leader. He gave us a list of several items that great leaders do. One that touched me the most was that good leaders will follow the promptings of the Holy Ghost--Even if it doesn't make sense. He told of a story where he had to let go of someone in his organization. He did it carefully and sincerely. That night he got a call from this man's wife telling him that the man he let go suffered a heart attack and was in the hospital. After that phone call he got the feeling to go and visit him in the hospital. This was not the logical thing to do and really didn't seem appropriate. Yet he did and he talked to this guy through the night.
Sometimes the Lord tells us to go things that don't make sense, but if we follow him he will bless us. SO What? -The Lord will tell us to do things and So now I need to act on promptings I receive even if its inconvenient or I don't know what to say. The Lord will help us once we take the first step.
