If they can accomplish these small insignificant things well, why can’t they accomplish even a small issue which would aid the people? This is the basis for quality, effective leadership.
We need leaders and CEOs who will enter the larger arena to defend and support us because their significant things mean more than the one whose friends gather because a bill to pave his street was passed, or their company pocketed $14B last quarter, while kids not far from their street went hungry. In today’s business world and government offices that supposedly have high-sounding and noble mission statements they demonstrate some of the worst behaviors and ethics ever, are not present in church, and yet praise God at the end of each sentence in front of a camera. In the case of Jesus, His overwhelming approval from the masses came because of His wisdom, His compassion, His sense of divine calling, and the unquestioned purity of His motives (Briner and Pritchard, 2008, p. 117).
