Planning Like Nehemiah|Step 6
Executing the Plan
This week we’re discussing the leader Nehemiah and his effective seven-step planning process. The sixth step is “Executing the Plan.”
Plans are meaningless if they’re never executed! Nehemiah was a man of action. He developed his plan, but he also knew when it was time to act. He formed his team, delegated responsibilities, and then called his team into action.
Executing the plan also requires some restarts occasionally. Nehemiah found it necessary to resolve some tough issues and then he rallied his team to get back to work.
Nehemiah 4:15 says, “When our enemies heard that it was known to us, and that God had frustrated their plan, then all of us returned to the wall, each one to his work.”
Planning is important, but be diligent to move the plan forward.

About this Plan
Most would agree that planning is an important process to be used in our workplaces, but one that is often condensed or sometimes ignored. This 7-part series will examine how Nehemiah harnessed the discipline of planning to successfully rebuild Jerusalem’s walls. His practical and wise seven-step process is one that we can use today.
