The qualities of a good shepherd in the Bible are similar to six qualities Jim Collins identified as Level 5 Leaders in his classic book, “Good to Great.” The second quality Collins identified is “Asking for help.”
Unfortunately, many business leaders believe asking for help is a sign of weakness. When I was in banking, I respected one of my bosses for his willingness to ask for help. Due to my CPA background, he realized that I could shed light on complex loan requests differently than he could.
Proverbs 12:15 teaches, “The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, But a wise man is he who listens to counsel.”
If you desire to be a good shepherd to your people, don’t be hesitant to ask for help.
