Proverbs 22: 11 (NIV) He who loves a pure heart and whose speech is gracious will have the king
Personal values for a Christian Businessperson are simple and direct: purity of heart and pureness of speech. The heart is not often seen: but in the end, it is what is said and how it is said that gives away the heart.
Do you want to make a change in your workplace? Work on your heart and leave the rest up to God. His love for you will cover the consequences of your stand for righteousness - your expression of a pure heart.
Do you work for someone who manages by intimidation and also expects the same from you? Smile. Stand firm in your conviction to be well spoken, not mean-spirited. Remember, we are called to love and not to return evil with evil, but evil with good.
Purity of motive: graciousness of speech: What’s not to like?

I've probably changed more because of mean-spirited bosses than good ones. The verse is something about it being to our glory to overlook an insult. Sorry. I don't have it at hand.
