Summary
In this Extra Credit episode of the Clearly Christian Podcast, Dr. Cy Smith dives deeper into his conversation with Dr. Todd Marrah, Superintendent of Tree of Life Christian Schools. Cy shares his thoughts on the need for leaders to acquire the wisdom and mindset of big picture thinking, which allows them to see the vision before others, size up situations, and sketch a picture of where they want to go.
Big picture thinking also helps leaders focus on the right things, promotes teamwork, keeps them from getting caught up in the mundane, and allows them to chart uncharted territory. Finally, we highlight the significance of convictional leadership and the enduring power of convictions.
