Once again I state, if an individual wants to change their belief system, they must first change the way they think about themselves. In most cases, it entails changing their environment. I am convinced that one of our greatest weaknesses as leaders today is that our philosophical training about who we are as human beings, including our inherent purpose as leaders, has been severely deficient. Our environment and other influences have produced defects in our thinking due to some flawed philosophies that have been perpetuated by our culture, which we have accepted and embraced. If we are to change, we must first go back to the Lord God's "Last Will and Testament" for earthly living. You call it the Bible. It is His last Will and Testament to all mankind.
If we want to become leaders of character who make a positive difference in this world, we need to take a serious look at what ideas we have received, how those ideas have shaped our philosophy of life, as well as what beliefs and attitudes we need to change. Paul, ambassador and representative of the Kingdom, put it this way: And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Here is an example: If a leader has accepted the concept "It is everyone for himself in this world", he will always put himself before other people. The result is that he may neglect, mistreat, or even abuse his followers. Remember, true leaders always place the highest value on the dignity of all humankind. This reflects the character of the Lord God. Personally, I believe that if you don't respect other people, you should not be in leadership. I see that all the time among church leadership. This world already has too many problems to take on another leader who disregards the intrinsic value of human beings. What I am seeing is that there are religious leaders who claim to know Jesus, but in reality, they don't know who He really is. Remember what God's Constitution states: A good man obtains favor from the Lord, but a man of wicked intentions He will condemn.
According to the Lord God's promises, soon the chickens will come home to roost. I am paraphrasing. My last words to you are this: A leader's public policies reflect how he views, interacts with, and affects the lives of other people as he carries out his leadership.
Romans 12:2 Proverbs 12:2
