Quoteboard:  Walking Around

5/2/2013

"Manage by walking around."
     This is an old business adage on the importance of relational presence in leadership.  An employer can't lead his business without walking amongst his people.   In a broader sense, it's a reminder that we can't fulfill our God-given responsibilities and be distant from the people we are responsible for.  A father can't father when he's at work 80 hours a week.  A teacher can't be effective if he or she lectures but never listens.  A mentor can't influence a protege from a laptop.  A pastor can't lead a congregation from behind the desk.   And as we know, God did not rescue the world from the press box of heaven, distant from all the strife below.  Jesus, in a sense, managed by walking around.
