The poster says it well Edgy People Are On The Edge. A leader who wants to model healthy behaviors for his/her followers knows that maintaining margin in his/her life is essential. When a leader lives right up to the edge of their financial, emotional, physical, and spiritual resources, s/he too joins the ranks of edgy people with short fuses ready to go off on a moment’s notice. S/he becomes reactionary rather than intentional.
Of course there will be times requiring the leader to go to the edge in order to make it through a situation. However, to adopt that state of being as a lifestyle is a shortcut to ineffective leadership over the long haul.
In what areas might you need to take a few steps back from the edge? As you look at your followers, who might you need to encourage to do the same? See the poster entitled Live Intentionally and Life’s Report Card for more on this subject.
