Listen to the latest 60 second episode of Integrity Moments with Rick Boxx
New to his manager role, Steve made a mistake common for newly promoted team members; he wanted to keep everyone happy, even if that wasn’t best for the entire group. Over time, team members caught him saying one thing, only to later take actions that contradicted his words. Soon, team members lost trust in him.
Jesus warned his disciples about following the hypocritical example of the religious leaders of the time, reminding them, “Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known.” (Luke 12:1-2)
Team members continually examine leaders to determine whether they can be trusted. Earn that trust by ensuring your words match your actions.
