Let Your People Shine

Look, I have specifically chosen Bezalel. . . . I have filled him with the Spirit of God, giving him great wisdom, ability, and expertise in all kinds of crafts. Exodus 31:2-3

I love being around people who are really good at what they do. It gives me great pleasure to watch them because I can tell that they’re right in the middle of their sweet spots.

Bono and David Letterman always look as if they wouldn’t want to be doing anything else.

Watch Jimmy Carter at a Habitat for Humanity site, and you’ll see a guy in his element.

We all know people who are going through the motions of something they aren’t very good at. It’s where they landed when they got tired of doing what made them happy.

God chose Bezalel to superintend the Tabernacle construction because he was an expert in the field.

We are all born with a seed of greatness. As a leader, your job is to help people develop whatever will make them shine. Then put their talents to use for the good of the mission.
