Listen to the latest 60 second episode of Integrity Moments with Rick Boxx
Integrity Moments is a 60 second workday devotional that provides business leaders with helpful insight into what the Bible says about our work and how we can fully integrate our faith into our vocational calling.

In the Bible, the qualities of a good shepherd are similar to six qualities Jim Collins identified in Level 5 Leaders in his book, “Good to Great.” The fifth quality is “finding the right people.”

When business is brisk and you’re overwhelmed, it’s easy to want to hire anyone who can fill a slot, especially in a tight job market. This band aid approach, however, will cost you in the long run.

Jim Collins talks about taking enough time and performing due diligence to “get the right people on the bus.”

In Exodus 18:21 Jethro told Moses, “But select capable men from all the people—men who fear God, trustworthy men who hate dishonest gain.”

Slow down and select the right person for the job. It will prove rewarding.
