Providence


Providence may not be in your daily business lexicon.
While it is usable in different contexts, one definition is broadly relevant: “timely preparation for future eventualities.”
In that regard, demonstrating and creating the conditions for providence is core to leadership.


At a time of year that seems to pull your team in ten directions simultaneously, remember providence.
The work of today creates the capacity for your team next year.
If it does not, there may be cause to pause and redirect.


Teams that encourage providence during times that discourage it, perform in the long term.
Leaders that encourage providence find their way despite the hurdles that emerge.
Whether it is creating providence for your team, or finding it for yourself, do it now for the benefit of next year.
