Leadership: Model the Way with Actions
- Behavior validates our beliefs. If we say one thing and do another, we are dishonest with ourselves and others. Actions are a barometer of our character. Appropriate actions earn us the right to influence and lead. If we are inconsistent in our actions, we confuse the team. Consistent actions facilitate faithfulness in followers.
- It is important how we arrive at our definition of right actions. The higher context of work expectations is based on the principles found in God’s Word rather than what culture tells us. Daily priorities reflect the agreed upon values of the organization. For example, respectful behavior is illustrated by collaborative discussions around strategy and execution. Then wise actions become the pattern of an effective and efficient culture in an organization.
- This culture requires:
- • An alignment with belief--does what it says and says what it does.
- • A collaborative culture--relies on the wisdom of the team rather than on one perspective.
- • A biblical definition of behavior--defines right, wrong, and wisdom.
- Are my actions consistent with my beliefs? How does God define right behavior?
