Leaders are intended to be a blessing to their people. Your associates ought to feel fortunate that they have the opportunity to work alongside you. Do they?
Solomon was granted divine wisdom with which to lead his nation. Those who worked with him continually benefited from their wise ruler. How the royal court must have buzzed with excitement every time Solomon solved a difficult problem or settled a complicated dispute. What confidence it would have given his officers, knowing they were being led wisely.
Unfortunately, many people today suffer in the service of foolish leaders. These people who make hasty decisions without evaluating the consequences They make rash statements and neglect to seek godly, wise counsel. It is demoralizing to know that the organization you are investing your time and energy in to is being led by a fool.
If you lead wisely, people will seek to work with you. Some may accept lower pay for the benefit they recognize in working with a wise leader. Are you someone people are excited to work with?
