Driving Through Fog: Leading Yourself And Others When You Can’t See Where You’re Going

HAVE YOU EVER FOUND YOURSELF DRIVING IN THE THICKEST OF FOG?

You grip the steering wheel and more often than not slow down just a bit. It is natural to become hesitant, and easy to get lost. Visibility is taken for granted until it is limited or worse, gone. It can make the fastest mover among us freeze in our tracks.

Life is filled with seasons of fog, often coming unexpectedly. Leaders are used to looking into the future and planning for success but things have changed.

Fog can be personal and life shattering like a loss of relationship or job. It can be health related. It can even be spiritual as the answers we found in previous seasons of life ring hollow amid social disruption.

Such is life for many in a post-pandemic, chaotic landscape. What used to bring clarity is now just a haze. Perhaps more than any other time, we cannot see what is up ahead.

How do we move forward in the face of so much uncertainty?

Driving Through Fog shows us how to lead ourselves and others with proven and personal lessons coming to us in the form of principles that allow us to move forward with intentionality and hope.

Praise for Driving Through Fog

"If I only had a dollar for every time I’ve uttered the words, “Remember what Brian said?!” I’ve had the benefit of participating in and reaping the benefits of Brian Zehr’s Christ-centered coaching and wisdom for almost twenty years. Brian now brings his leadership experience, wit, and love for the Lord to Driving Through Fog – a roadmap of principles designed to help Christian leaders of all types navigate through the challenges of professional and personal life. This is a must-read for any faith-based leader looking to transform their organization, nonprofit, church, community, or home."

"I have been leading a business for over 20 years, and I recall many times when I have felt like I was in a fog. A fog can make you feel many things or emotions. But for me, the fog often makes me feel bewildered. Brian’s book gives me a place to start. Having the guts to take the next step in a fog can be paralyzing. This book gives you the confidence to take that next step. Navigating the fog is something I didn’t know how to do. Thanks, Brian, for some practical advice!"

— Dan Graham, Chairman & CEO - Compass Mortgage

“A generation ago, Bob Dylan declared: 'The Times They Are A-Changin'. What Dylan prophesied in the 1960s seems truer than ever for leaders in the 21st century. A leader’s job is to move forward, even when she can’t see what’s ahead. Here’s a resource to help you do that safely and effectively. My friend and colleague, Brian Zehr, has written an important book based on real-world principles he has learned and developed to help us navigate these challenging times. Brian is a thought leader, a practitioner, and a dear friend who has helped me and the organization I lead keep moving forward despite the fog. This book is an excellent resource if you are trying to move forward and find the fog thick.”
