Proverbs 6:16a (AMP) These six things the Lord hates, indeed, seven are an abomination to Him: [#1] A proud look [the spirit that makes one overestimate himself and underestimate others]…
Bill George, in his book, Authentic Leadership: Rediscovering the Secrets to Creating Lasting Value, proclaims: “… that leadership begins and ends with authenticity…(it’s) being the person you were created to be.”
He then points out that truly understanding self takes some risk and humility – learning to be open to others. Sometimes that may mean simple actions in a down economy – like keeping everyone working with less pay or less hours - everyone sharing in the business status. Thinking about the needs of others does take effort – including thinking about solution implications.
“As a person thinks in his heart so is he.” What are you thinking about?
