Jesus CEO: Keep in Contact with the Boss
(view similar articles on Non Profit Organizations)
I’ve been reading Jesus CEO by Laurie Beth Jones. Using Ancient Wisdom for Visionary Leadership is the subtitle. I’m taking highlights from her book and applying them to our role as homeschool parents and leaders. P.S. Ms. Jones does not use the capital letter for the godly pronouns (Him, He, etc), so when I quote her, you will see the lack of capitalization. It is her convention, not mine.
Jesus Kept in Contact with His Boss
“He Kept in Constant Contact with His Boss…Jesus met with his boss daily; usually for hours…As a leaders, it is vitally important that you keep in touch with your boss on a regular, sacrosanct basis. Chances are your boss can provide an aerial view that will make you path more clear.”
Who is our boss? Well naturally, like Jesus, it is our heavenly Father. How do we keep in touch? Through prayer and Bible study. But our earthly bosses might be our husbands, pastors, or other homeschool leaders who have a servant-leader position over us.
How to keep in touch with them? We talk, e-mail, hold meetings, etc…I’ve worked with homeschool leadership teams that don’t meet very often. They usually have problems because they are not talking and staying in touch often enough. Let’s learn a lesson from Jesus and stay in touch with our bosses.
How do you keep in contact with your boss(es)?
