Wise organizational leaders and managers understand that Jesus is Lord of all, no exceptions. Accordingly, Jesus is Lord of all organizations. Therefore, the proper way to lead and manage an organization is in accordance with Scripture. To function any other way is humanistic, which will ultimately end in failure. The MTD message is incompatible with Christianity as historically understood by orthodox Christians. To build sound, efficient, and effective organizations, one of the key predicates is to build with people committed to orthodox Christianity as evidenced by their lifestyle.

Wise organizational leaders and managers will be regulated by a sound Christian worldview based on Scripture. Accordingly, they will understand the fallen condition of mankind and mankind’s impotency to self-save and that God’s plan of salvation is not universally granted to all. Hence, they will recognize the impact of sin on all stakeholders. Building an organizational culture based on Scripture as a necessary predicate for delivering excellent value will be a priority.

To lead well, organizational leaders and managers must be holistic—they must embrace the lordship of Jesus in all jurisdictions without equivocation. This means that every issue should, as much as possible, align with the will, ways, timing, and glory of God. When works and organizational leaders so live, organizations will be aligned with God’s plan and purpose. This will be manifested by hiring the right workers who will then serve the right people with the right value proposition, using the right means and methods in the right places and at the right times for the glory of God. The fruit of this alignment with God will be success in accordance with God’s plan and purpose.

Wise organizational leaders recognize the importance of workers who labor aligned with the will of God. The workplace is a context for people to fulfill their callings. To do this requires sound Christian leadership in organizations to prepare workers to find and fulfill their callings. To this end, support from local churches can be valued to help people discover God’s call. Local churches that prioritize evangelism over discipleship will be counterproductive. This wrong priority will impair personal effectiveness and efficiency.

Wise organizational leaders think big; they study Scripture to understand the metanarrative, seeking to discern their assignments in God’s plan. They understand the purpose of humanity is to serve as God’s ruling agents who execute his will according to his ways in his timing and all for his glory. Organizationally, this means that everything should be aligned with God’s purpose as outlined in the original Creation order and contextualized in the metanarrative. This requires both macro and micro discernment and application of a Christian worldview to all aspects of organizational behavior. Leading this way is the only path to success.
