In the Bible, the qualities of a good shepherd are similar to six qualities identified of Level 5 Leaders in Jim Collins’ book, “Good to Great.” The final quality is “leading with passion.”
Recently, some college students asked me for advice about starting a new business. I encouraged them to select a business for which they have a passion.
As a young adult, my first business was a used car rental agency. When temperatures fell below zero, going to work was miserable because I wasn’t passionate about car rentals!
Ephesians 4:1 teaches, “Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, implore you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called.”
Find your calling and lead with passion. Passion can carry you through the hard times.
