Breaking Point

October 6, 2025 bobturner Daily Leadership, saltJournal 0 Comments

People often take on more work than they are capable of handling. It is commonly said, “It is just easier to do the work myself.” We add more until we cannot carry it all and something breaks.

Is this the right way to lead?

Do leaders really help others reach their potential if they add more to their own plate?

Can overall growth occur if only a few do the work?

Leaders must delegate and distribute the load into appropriate hands.

If everyone does their part, the entire load can be carried. When leadership takes on the responsibility of others, eventually a breaking point comes. Guard against it!

All leaders face problems. Arnold Glasow said, “One of the true tests of leadership is the ability to recognize a problem before it becomes an emergency.”

What helps us with these problems before they become emergencies?

Address problems when they arise. Waiting for problems to resolve themselves, or ignoring them, is a denial of our role as leaders.

Rely on wise counsel. Resolving problems based on our own wisdom and experience can be effective, but Solomon teaches the value of wise counsel.

Learn to delegate. Get others involved in problem resolution. Assigning tasks to others will help create confidence in their ability to reach a solution.

Our task is to seek a resolution based on God’s word. Here, and only here, can real solutions be found.

All leaders will face problems. How we deal with problems makes the difference.

I commonly hear people speak of moving from one fire (problem) to another. When one fire is out, they are racing to the next.

What will help with these problems before they become emergencies?

Address problems when they arise. Problems do not resolve themselves.

Rely on wise counsel. Solomon teaches the value of wise counsel.

Learn to delegate. Get others involved in problem resolution.

Our task as spiritual leaders is to provide a solution from God’s word. Here, and only here, can real solutions be found.
