When it comes to help, advice, guidance, “laws” on leadership we often turn to articles from great leaders, business men and the like. Well, I thought I would turn to the greatest of them all… from the wisest book of the Bible – PROVERBS. See what you think?!

➢ The mark of a good leader is loyal followers; leadership is nothing without a following

➢ A good leader motivates, doesn’t mislead, doesn’t exploit

➢ Good leaders abhor wrongdoing of all kinds; sound leadership has a moral foundation

➢ Good leaders cultivate honest speech; they love advisors who tell them the truth

➢ An intemperate leader wreaks havoc in lives; you’re smart to stay clear of someone like that

➢ Good-tempered leaders invigorate lives; they’re like spring rain and sunshine

➢ Mean-tempered leaders are like mad dogs; the good-natured are like fresh morning dew

➢ Quick-tempered leaders are like mad dogs – cross them and they bite your head off

➢ Leaders who know their business and care keep a sharp eye out for the shoddy and cheap, for who among us can be trusted to be always diligent and honest?

➢ After careful scrutiny, a wise leader makes a clean sweep of rebels and dolts

➢ Love and truth form a good leader; sound leadership is founded on loving integrity

➢ Good leadership is a channel of water controlled by God; he directs it to whatever ends he chooses

➢ Among leaders who lack insight, abuse abounds, but for one who hates corruption, the future is bright

➢ A leader of good judgement gives stability; an exploiting leader leaves a trail of waste

➢ Like the horizons for breadth and the ocean for depth, the understanding of a good leader is broad and deep

➢ When a leader listens to malicious gossip, all the workers get infected with evil

➢ Leadership gains authority and respect when the voiceless poor are treated fairly
