Most leaders do not want to move behind or come after. But seeing the effects that following has on effective leadership, it puts you in the willingness to want to follow. Sometimes leaders do not start out on a leadership journey expecting to follow behind. There is that assumption to always be up front. But God is saying in this book, "When you fall behind and see things from behind, you will see the effects of your leadership." Waiting first on God will help you not make hasty, destructive decisions. Hearing the conclusion of the matter and getting a full understanding can help you avoid many errors in your leadership role. This is not to say you will not make mistakes, stumble, and learn many things. But when you follow God and obey his instructions, if you err, you soon correct the problem and move on with the tenacity to keep going. Your strength and hope do not come from you but from God, and there is no failure in God. When a leader ceases to follow, it opens an area in their leadership role that blocks their view of seeing their errors, which need to be corrected.
One of the definitions of follow is "to come after in time and order." This will allow you to move in the right timing. Our timing is not God's timing; therefore, we should follow his timing. Let him go first, and we follow. The picture on the cover of this book says, "Lead to Follow". Leaders need to follow the shepherd (Christ our Lord), others will follow us to an expected end, not destruction.
Paul pins it best in 1 Corinthians 11:1. Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.May God keep and bless you!
