Imagine the difference a leader can make if they empower others to take the leading role.
Not everyone can have the leading role.
When I was a teenager, I played in the band. I was thrilled when I got to play the melody. I hated playing harmony – a few notes here and there. I couldn’t hear how the notes I played made a difference in the music. My part seemed unimportant.
Today, I sing with the worship team at church. Now, I wish I knew how to sing harmony. I can hear how the blending of different notes creates a more beautiful sound.
That is what different opinions on a team can sound like – beautiful music as they work out the details together. Just as in music, sometimes someone will hit a sour note. With encouragement and understanding from teammates, the sour note begins to find its purpose and the project becomes richer and fuller.
