A Wise Boss

“Employees, be submissive to your bosses with all fear, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the harsh” (1 Peter 2:18).

Not always an easy thing to do.

A wise boss will recognize the ability of employees and encourage them to succeed. They give them room for creativity and provide opportunity to relieve stress when pressure becomes too severe. A wise boss recognizes that some employees have more knowledge than he or she does and will allow the employee to make decisions. A wise boss also allows for errors because he or she recognizes that mistakes are the nature of being human and the blood of creativity.

Unfortunately, not all bosses are wise.
