Where does the Bible fit in with Leadership?

A thorough knowledge of the Bible is worth more than a college education. Theodore Roosevelt

The common traits of all successful leaders include a strong commitment to ethics, morals, integrity, and self-discipline.  They have a desire for excellence within them and know how to motivate their employees along the same line.

There is no better source for moral, spiritual, and ethical guidelines than the bible.  Jesus was the ultimate teacher of living right, living just.  He motivated by being, doing, and speaking.  Jesus demonstrated leadership on all levels; he treated everyone justly, fairly, and equally; and filled all the parts of the all consummated being and leader.

 Principle-centered living unleashes personal power in the form of a self-aware, knowledgeable, proactive individual, unrestricted by the attitudes, behaviors, and actions of others.  They are also unaffected by the situations and environmental influences that affect others.

The Bible will transform our lives
And turn us from sin,
If we read it and obey
God’s principles within. - Sper

We reap the consequences of our choices.  The closer we follow God’s way, the more God will show us the way he has chosen for us.

Supervisors Wear Many Hats

A supervisor is responsible for finding the inefficiencies or problems in workflows, monitoring production processes, quality, supply chain, inventory, manufacturing, and a host of other operations.  Ultimately, the success of the company rests with supervisors, their employees, and the efficiency of their operations.  Supervisors attempt to fine-tune operational processes to be more efficient and profitable for the company.

Supervisors use tools like performance measurement, flowcharts, best practices information, and benchmarking.  These tools help determine where the problems are and the best methods to correct them.  Technology is changing at a phenomenal pace and what is new today is gone tomorrow.  To keep pace, supervisors must always be looking to upgrade their computer skills along with their managing skills.

Supervisors break down every process, analyze it, and make it (and its final product) better.  The universal goal is customer satisfaction, achieved through improving quality, efficiency and ultimately reducing costs for everyone.

I always looked at every operation with an eye towards tweaking it a little and making it more efficient.  If any time could be saved, even mere minutes, I would make a change.  It not only saved time, but employees got the message that we needed to be looking everywhere to become more efficient.

The key to making things work successfully is the supervisors’ ability to enlist the efforts of his or her employees.  Motivated employees will produce more with higher quality; have fewer accidents and better attendance.  The most critical characteristic of a successful leader is the type of relationship he has with his or her workers, peers, and bosses.  Because of its degree of importance, relationships will be discussed in length in following chapters.  Positive relationships are built on trust, integrity, honesty, listening, fairness, and the belief in one another.
