The story of Ezra and Nehemiah highlights the concept of a visionary and an integrator, a core premise to Gino Wickham’s book, Rocket Fuel.
Ezra had a vision for Jerusalem. He desired to turn Jerusalem into a vibrant community that knew God’s commands and lived by them.
For thirteen years, Ezra experienced some successes but struggled to move Jerusalem forward spiritually. Until Nehemiah arrived.
Nehemiah was the integrator who developed the plan, rallied the people, rebuilt the walls, and then, called on Ezra to teach God’s commands. That’s when Ezra’s vision became reality.
Ecclesiastes 4:9 teaches, “Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil.”
If your business has hit a ceiling, ask yourself if you have the right person to help implement your vision.
