In “Rare Leadership in the Workplace,” authors Marcus Warner and Jim Wilder unpack RARE as an acronym for how to become a mature leader. The A stands for “Act Like Yourself.”
A former boss of mine modeled this quality when a customer began bullying one of our bank employees. My boss stepped in, confronted the customer, and when the argument escalated, he gave the customer a check for the total in his account and closed the account.
My boss acted like the adult in the room.
In Luke 4:18, Jesus said, “He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free.”
Strong mature leaders act like adults. They are not easily manipulated, and they are protectors not predators.
