Today, as you go about your tasks, take a moment to think about how many leaders are shaping the future of your business or workplace. Ecclesiastes 4:9 (KJV) says, “Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.” Reflect on how many minds are praying, thinking, and planning for the betterment of the company. No business can rise above the quality of its leadership. Strong, collaborative leadership is essential for growth and success, ensuring that every effort contributes to a greater reward for all involved.
The story of Ruth and Naomi beautifully illustrates that two heads are indeed better than one. Naomi had insights, perspectives, and information that Ruth didn’t possess. In matters of life and business, it’s crucial not to keep everything in your head. There should be others who are well-informed about your plans, able to offer feedback and meaningful contributions. Just as Naomi guided Ruth with her wisdom, having trusted advisors or partners can provide the support and knowledge necessary to navigate challenges and seize opportunities, ultimately leading to greater success and fulfillment.
If you ever wonder how big a business can grow, look no further than how many good heads are working on and in the business. Without intentionally creating an environment where hardworking people can find leadership, a supportive team, and a mission that resonates, growth is impossible. The difference between a struggling business, a multimillion Naira company, and a multimillion Dollar company lies in the number and quality of minds building it. Ask yourself, “How many heads are building up this company?” and strive to attract and nurture those who can drive your vision forward.
