1. Anticipate Problems: Since problems are inevitable, good
leaders anticipate them. Anyone who expects the road to be
easy will continually find himself in trouble. I heard a
story about David Livingstone, the missionary to Africa, that
illustrates the kind of attitude leaders need. A mission
organization wanted to send helpers to Dr. Livingstone and wrote, "Have
you found a good road to where you are? If so, we want to
send other men to join you."
Livingstone replied, "If you have men who will come only if they know
there is a good road, I don't want them. I want men who will
come even if there is no road at all."
2. Accept the Truth: People respond to problems in these
ways: they refuse to accept them; they accept them and then
put up with them; or they accept them and try to make things better.
Leaders must always do the latter.
Broadcaster Paul Harvey said, "In times like these it is good to
remember that there have always been times like these." No
leaser can simultaneously have his head in the sand and navigate his
people through troubled waters. Effective leaders face up to
the reality of a situation.
