Proverbs 7:3 (NKJV)
Keep my commands and live,
And my law as the apple of your eye.
The idiom in this verse literally means the “pupil of the eye” but has come to mean, “that which we hold most precious.”
God’s laws, like principles of leadership are fundamentally about two issues: personal integrity and the value of others. Robin S. Sharma in Leadership Wisdom from The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari put it this way: “The greatest privilege of leadership is the chance to elevate lives."
Robert E. Staub - (The Heart of Leadership: 12 Practices of Courageous Leader) - reveals that those who purport to lead fail because they don't understand who it is they're trying to lead – which takes competency, intimacy, integrity, and passion.
Leaders know what is precious: It not the stuff that must be done. It’s the people who team with them to get it done.
What’s most precious to you?
