I also observe one additional important leadership behavior in verses 11 to 16. Upon his arrival in
Jerusalem, Nehemiah carefully assessed the situation. He inspected the condition of the walls. Once
more he sets a helpful example for us; he does not rush into the situation trying to fix it. Rather, he took
the time to gather the necessary information before taking action.
May we be like Nehemiah, leaders who hear from the Lord and develop a plan.
