Aristotle (384-322 BC) was an ancient Greek philosopher. His writings cover a broad range of subjects spanning the natural sciences, philosophy, linguistics, economics, politics, psychology, and the arts.

Love Your Enemies

Leaders by nature want to win. They want to win the account, win the deal, win the quarter, win the best staff, win at products, win at service. This is why Jesus’ teaching for leaders to “love your enemies” is tremendously challenging.

How to Win at Politics

American politics is getting more intense and divisive by the day. The democratic tradition of debate and discourse, leading to compromise and unity, is all but gone in the US. Instead, we gather into tribes based on deeply held political beliefs, we deride the opposition.

Full of Grace

Salvation through Christ is a gift of grace. Christ Himself is described as “full of grace” (John 1:14). A common definition of grace as used throughout the Bible is undeserved favor.

Developing a Good Work Ethic

What is really expected of someone in terms of worth ethic? The Bible speaks of our work from the Old to the New Testament. Proverbs 14:23 says, “In all toil there is profit, but mere talk tends only to poverty.”

Be Rich in Good Deeds

Why are you a leader? Are the resources and position you have solely for your own benefit, or were you meant for something more? Paul’s letter to Timothy gives an interesting take on the purpose and priorities of leading others.

How to Be a Positive Leader

Positive leadership is a product of a leader’s relationships, for it is in knowing, helping and serving people that he can elicit a compelling and uplifting emotional response.

To Whom Honor Is Due

Honor means to hold with high respect or great esteem. On Veterans Day, we honor to those specifically who have served in the armed forces. But have you ever wondered how, exactly, you honor someone?

Free to Lead

When we celebrate on July 4 now, 245 years and as many political reinterpretations later, it begs the question, “What freedom are we celebrating?” Christ brings us a clear and meaningful definition of freedom that transcends our July 4 celebration.

The Cost of Leadership

On Memorial Day we remember and honor the sacrifices of those who gave their last full measure of devotion to their country. Consider the people-centered lesson we can learn as leaders from those who serve (or have served) in a branch of the armed forces.

Lead Like Mom

Mother’s Day is a reminder to be thankful for our moms and the investment they made in the persons we are today. Moms have a tremendous capacity to instill wisdom, values and principles into their children and families.

Leadership and Easter

History’s most pivotal spiritual moment is celebrated at Easter. Perhaps the greatest way we celebrate Easter is to echo the life of Christ as His followers in how we love others.

10 Vaccines for the Disease of More

People who have it all—money, fame, family, career, lots of possessions—often find their entire self-worth is tied up in items that have price tags, and not on the intangibles that make life meaningful. But there are vaccines for that.

Carpe Diem

Carpe Diem! Those who seize the day make the most of all opportunities that present themselves.

Where The Bible Teaches Leadership

Moses, Joshua, David, Solomon, Daniel, Isaiah, John, Paul, Timothy, Jesus… does the Bible, through its primary characters and events, give us examples of leaders, or does it actually teach leadership skills and principles?

Only Two Ways to Look at the Universe

We will stare out in the night sky at those distant points of light, so unimaginably far away, and we ask, “Is there anything out there, is there anything more?”

How To Become an Influencer

As a leader, your influence can mean more, though, than product endorsements to an online audience. The Bible endorses faith-centered leaders influencing others toward God and good works, by their speech and through example.

When Do You Become a Man?

The Bible contains responsibilities given to man by God. In Genesis, we read that God gave man dominion over His creation, and the job of tending to it (Genesis 2:15). Spiritually, the Bible also give man clear direction in his responsibilities.
