2.1: Biblical Insight
↵
Why should we learn history? It is a hallway that never ends. Without it, what would govern our decision-making? This week, we study the history of management. We will have the opportunity to gain great understanding and insights from those who came before us. God has given us history to help guide us into the future, allowing us to be wise in our conduct for His purpose.
"The proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel: For learning wisdom and discipline; for understanding insightful sayings; for receiving prudent instruction in righteousness, justice, and integrity; for teaching shrewdness to the inexperienced, knowledge and discretion to a young man - let a wise person listen and increase learning, and let a discerning person obtain guidance - for understanding a proverb or a parable, the words of the wise, and their riddles." Proverbs 1:1-7 (CSB)
No matter what you have accomplished, no matter your level of education, skills and talents, or leadership position, there is always an opportunity to learn and grow the people around you. To grow as a leader, it is important to possess a mindset of humility centered on listening and learning from others. Surround yourself with people who challenge you to be a better person and exceptional leader.
