7 Proverbs For LeadersExemplo

Good Name

“A good name is more desirable than great riches, and loving favor is better than silver and gold.” (Pro 22:1)

Avoiding shortcuts and not burning bridges are two ways of protecting your reputation. Being pleasant to deal with, regardless of how difficult a situation or how bad a deal goes, will ensure your reputation stays in place. 

Being a leader we will rise or fall on our reputations. Leadership is not an excuse to lord it over others, it is a position from which to serve both individuals and organizations. How we do so will determine our reputation.

The Bible places such things above material gain and above precious jewels. We too should have the same perspective. We are the physical manifestation of God’s love to the world, after all. Often people will judge God by how they see us.

Protecting our reputation protects God’s reputation; we are, after all, His representatives.

Quick Prayer: Please protect my reputation. Amen.
