Qualities Of An "Unconventional" Business Leader | 7. Generous

This week, we have looked at the characteristics of an unconventional business leader following the acronym LEADING. We have looked at “L” for love God, “E” for excellence, “A” for appreciate others, “D” for driven by purpose, “I” for integrity and “N” for no bondage. Today, we will look at the last trait, “G” for generous.

Business leaders who want their work to matter to God have faith that drives their generosity, which in turn impacts those around them. Consider Mr. Tam's story.

When challenged by God to deed his entire company over to a foundation to fund evangelism, this plan challenged Stanley Tam. Yet, after much consideration, he took that courageous step.

Mr. Tam’s courageous and faith-filled generosity ultimately generated more than $200 million in worldwide evangelistic efforts, impacting millions of lives.

In Matthew 5:16, Jesus taught, “Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”

When God calls you to take a step of courageous generosity, be bold and join other unconventional business leaders in this exhilarating journey.
