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 second R stands for “Return to Joy.”
Years ago, I asked an employee how she was doing. Although she answered, “Fine,” I could tell she wasn’t fine. Looking into her eyes I said, “How are you really doing?”
The tears welled up as she began to share her fears and concerns. She later said that simple act helped her return to joy.
Proverbs 15:23 teaches, “A person finds joy in giving an apt reply— and how good is a timely word!”
As a mature leader, it’s important that we are cognizant of those around us who are currently living in fear and need some joy.
