Lessons from a Lousy Leader
Jesus’ story of an unrighteous manager teaches us lessons about shrewd business and a few subtle truths about leadership.
This lousy leader:
1. Violated rule number one: Leadership is not to be used for personal benefit ( Luke 16:1 ). He forgot that leadership is about giving, not getting. Leaders lose the right to be selfish.
2. Learned that a leader cannot hide his heart ( Luke 16: 1, 2 ). Leadership rises or falls to the level of the leader’s integrity. Leaders are vulnerable.
3. Was proactive in facing problems ( Luke 16:3 ). He surmised how he could address the problem. Good leaders aren’t afraid to face reality.
4. Understood the value of relationships ( Luke 16:4 ). He utilized the relationships he had developed already. He received a return on his investment.
5. Understood the nature of his influence ( Luke 16: 4, 5 ). Since leadership is influence, leaders know with whom they have influence—and they go there.
6. Learned the keys to motivating others ( Luke 16: 5–7 ). Everyone is motivated in different ways. He found ways to make friends and get results.
7. Reminds us of the value of godly leadership ( Luke 16: 8–10 ). In the end, his master praised his shrewdness; but Jesus has a deeper lesson for us.
