In his article The Cultivation of Transcendent Leadership, Jamie S. Walters posits that generosity is the first of the six principles of “transcendent leadership.”
As he points out, “Generosity of spirit…fosters collaboration, creativity, idea-sharing, knowledge-sharing, camaraderie, trust, satisfaction, and constructive communication.”
Mercy to the needy is not only expressed as financial help (which is important in its own right), but also is expressed, in the work environment, in the sharing of information, delegating both authority and responsibility and/or providing necessary feedback.
Proverbs 19:17 (MSG) Mercy to the needy is a loan to God, and God pays back those loans in full.
Mercy is a quality of the heart.
Do you have the heart to lead?
