July 16, 2009 ~ Chain of Command

Do you support your leaders?

Today's Scripture:

Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him.

John 13:16

Tenure and seniority are no longer brass rings t promotions in corporations. Skill, knowledge, a social adeptness are all as important as loyalty to most of the personnel decision makers. So, there are many times when a younger, less-experienced associate vying for the same position. In fact, there are times when the guy with the most seniority, who feels deserving of the position, is asked to train the new hire to do the job that he thought he would have himself.


Sometimes, it is hard to submit to your boss. But face it; everyone has a boss. The president answers to the executive board, and they in turn answer to the stockholders. It is hard to find where the buck actually stops at times. There will be times when you cannot agree or do not understand the decisions that your boss makes. If your boss is also the rookie that you trained, it may even magnify the challenge.

But even if you are wiser or more experienced, you will do well to respect the position of your boss.


Remember that you are no more, or less, important than your supervisor. Even if you doubt her decisions, you can be supportive by being submissive to her authority. Be the follower that you would like to lead. Offer understanding and support - even bosses need it now and then.


Selah people' and friends ask your boss what you can do to support or assist him with an upcoming project or challenge. Then follow through with no motive except that of genuine cooperation.


"Join me in respecting the authority in work and spiritually. God well bless you for it."
