The Two Great Mandates

Wise organizational leaders and managers understand the importance of building organizations with people who are blessed. Blessed workers will seek to obey the Creation Mandate, that is, use the organization to serve as God’s ruling agents on earth. Leaders and managers must be vigilant about building organizations with workers who are divinely empowered to mature as Jesus’ disciples. Discipleship is the predicate for obedience to the Creation Mandate, which is the predicate for living in God’s blessings. This is the only proper way to build organizations that magnify and glorify God.
