Leadership Lessons from an ANT

Go to the ant, you sluggard! Consider her ways and be wise, which, having no captain, overseer or ruler, provides her supplies in the summer, and gathers her food in the harvest. Proverbs 6:6-8

Do you want to make a difference? Then pay attention to the metaphor of the ant. It’s amazing that one of the smallest of God’s creatures can become one of His greatest teachers. The lessons the ant teaches us can be summarized this way:

A- Attitude of Initiative
Ants don’t need a commander to tell them to get started.

N- Nature of Integrity
Ants work faithfully and need no outside accountability to keep them doing right.

T- Thirst for Industry
Ants work hard and will replace their anthill when it gets ruined.

S- Source of Insight
Ants store provisions in summer.
If we consider and learn from the ways of the ant, we can grow wise.
