At a “Faith at Work Summit” in September, I had the joy of watching 86-year-old John Perkins speak with such passion that it inspired the room to the point of a standing ovation. John is an amazing leader who marched with Dr. Martin Luther King and experienced the brutality of the 1960s personally.
After helping develop multiple businesses, healthy urban cores, and a model for Christian Community Development, Mr. Perkins understands leadership. John claimed that “Leadership is seeing the pain of others and turning it into passion.”
1 Peter 2:19 teaches, “For it is commendable if someone bears up under the pain of unjust suffering because they are conscious of God.”
If you see injustice in your workplace turn it into a passion that helps bring justice to all.
