Proverbs 26:17 (AMP) Do you see a man wise in his own eyes and conceit? There is more hope for a [self-confident] fool than for him.
Max Dupree (former chairman of Herman Miller, Inc.), in Leadership Jazz, observes, ”…leadership is a position of servanthood. Leadership is also a posture of debt; it is a forfeiture of rights.” Very different from “wise in his own eyes.” Conceit, consistent with Satan's fall, has captivated humans from the very beginning. Try to work-in or run a business without God -- that conceit makes you a "practical atheist," even if you profess a personal relationship. Atheists by any other name are still atheists. Acknowledging a need for God in the workplace, working in a way that acknowledges Him, is not an option. There is one wiser than we and His word is our guidebook.
