Pray, Plan and Prioritize...then delegate.
But don't get hung up on planning...the LORD can intervene at any moment and you can change direction! Keep your ears open!
"You already know the ultimate destination of your journey: your entrance into heaven. So keep your focus on the path just before you, leaving outcomes up to Me" Nov 19th Devotion from Jesus Calling by Sarah Young.
A few notes on "Planning" from the book of Proverbs:
"For a man's ways are in full view of the LORD, and he examines all his paths." Proverbs 5:21
"Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed." Proverbs 16:3
"In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps." Proverbs 16:9
"Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the LORD'S purpose that prevails." Proverbs 19:21
"The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty." Proverbs 21:5
"Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth." Proverbs 27:1
We have to remember that these are observations...reality, not promises from the Bible. Our actions have consequences.
So, be sure to pray before making plans...and continue to pray!

Finished a good book recently: WHO by Geoff Smart and Randy Street.
"The most important decisions that business people make are not what decisions but who decisions." -Jim Collins, Author of Good To Great.
That also goes for non profit organizations!
Good book: Good to Great in the Social Sector. by Jim Collins
WHO
WHAT
HOW
It's relatively easy to figure out What to do and also How to do something.
Maybe a more important decision is WHY we do what we do.
What are our motives? Have we sought the LORD on what we plan to do?
Then the rest becomes easy.
A good book for figuring that out is " Start With Why by Simon Sinek.
If you don't know WHY, You can't know HOW.
"All great leaders have clarity of WHY; an undying belief in a purpose or cause bigger than themselves. It's not Bill Gates's passion for computers that inspires us, it's his undying optimism that even the most complicated problems can be solved. He believes we can find ways to remove obstacles to ensure that everyone can live and worked to their greatest potential. It is his optimism to which we are drawn." P. 134
Let me know your thoughts!
Have a great day!

“If the leader of the organization can’t clearly articulate WHY
the organization exists in terms beyond its products or services, then
how does he expect the employees to know WHY to come to work?”
