Stewardship
I want to get ahead. I want to be the boss. I want
own a company, so others will have to listen to me. I want to
be president, no, I want to be GOD! I want to sit in a position
of undisputable power and rain lightning on people. Plagues of
locusts! Raining fire!
Where does it end? I’ll tell you this much,
it doesn’t end well… If you are in charge, people
won’t want to follow you, even if you own your own company.
They may if you pay them enough, but it will be close to impossible
for you to capture their hearts, or the limits of their imagination.
And that’s where people’s true value is, in their
imagination. A person’s creativity is the hardest thing
to cultivate but it is the most important thing you could have.
You could get a team of people willing to give you their time.
They will gladly do what you request. But what you need is their
willingness to learn, their hopes for the future. If you can find
some one that will take your business and treat it like their
own, that is the best thing you could have…
Stewardship seems to answer this problem. By changing around the
organizational structure from everyone following their boss to
everyone being accountable for their own jobs.
