Organizational leaders must develop metaphysical awareness and seek God’s purpose both individually and organizationally. Organizational success is measured by alignment with the divinely ordained role of the organization in the metanarrative. To build accordingly requires workers who think likewise. Leaders must resist the temptation to define reality functionally, that is, without metaphysical awareness, and be vigilant to seek to discern God’s will for the organization and each stakeholder in the organization. The most profound metric of success, individually and organizationally, can only be measured by the degree of alignment with the will and ways of God in the metanarrative.

Management must learn to think big—beyond the superficial pedestrian thinking of delivering goods and services, making a profit, and employing people. Given the metanarrative and a sovereign, intentional, and strategic Creator, organizational leaders must engage the battle between good and evil by guiding their organizations into alignment with the will and ways of God. This is a matter of prayer and spiritual discernment that leads to wise actions. Profound organizational leadership must be committed to Scripture and a godly walk to be able to see beyond tangible reality to the bigger story of history and properly align the organization with God’s purpose in his metanarrative. In this process, organizational leaders must seek to align their organizations with good, as biblically defined. This is their responsibility before God. The ultimate definition of success must be measured by the degree to which the leaders obediently fight evil and deliver good through their organizations.

Don’t think like a naturalist; think biblically with metaphysical awareness. Don’t be unequally yoked! This is a divine imperative. Wise organizational leaders must always seek alignment with God’s will and ways. This is the path to excellence and efficiency. One of the marks of equal yoking is conflict that facilitates improvements. Unequal yoking will produce unhealthy conflict that will manifest in inefficiencies and poor productivity. Equal yoking will empower organizations. Unequal yoking will impair and eventually destroy organizations. Equal yoking is manifested by the right people in the right places doing the right things serving the right people in the right way at the right time for the right reason.

Knowing God’s will about a matter is necessary but not sufficient. Organizational leadership must learn how to execute God’s will according to God’s ways. Therefore, organizational leaders must be both students and practitioners of divine precepts, and they also must develop spiritual discernment to know how to execute God’s will when explicit biblical guidance is not provided. This requires developed spiritual wisdom and discernment that is a mark of excellent leadership.
