Discover how to trust God, lead with patience, and find clarity in uncertain seasons with examples from legendary leaders.

Feeling like you are in a fog does not mean you are on the wrong path. 

In this week’s leadership minute, Jörg Walcher shares that in seasons where we feel we are in a fog, we can stay steady, keep moving forward, and trust God to bring clarity in His perfect timing. 

Some real-life examples of leaders who slow down challenging moments to win from the world of sports include; Tennis legend Roger Federer, who is known for his calm and methodical approach even in moments of uncertainty during matches. Federer often slows the pace, focuses on precision over power and trusts in his preparation. This approach has won him many critical acclaims. Skiing champion Mikaela Shiffrin from the U.S, when racing in challenging weather conditions adjusts her speed and trusts her technique. Instead of pushing recklessly she prioritizes control and patience often resulting in a safer and ultimately faster descent. NBA superstar LeBron James, as a team leader, exemplifies patience during challenging games. When the team faces a scoring drought or a momentum shift, LeBron slows the game down, analyzes the situation and makes deliberate plays to guide his team forward. 

So today, let’s lead with peace and confidence even in uncertain times. As we slow down, focus on God’s direction and encourage those following to do the same, I believe we will see the fog lift and see clearly again as we keep driving on the road God has prepared for us.
