What Would You Do If You Were President?

If Tessa was presidentMcCain and Obama have been telling us what they will do if they become President.  Well, what would you do if you became President?  Tessa shared her vision for America in the picture above.  Need help with the translation?

“If I were President I would make everything free and wear pretty dresses.”

I think I am going to vote for Tessa.

Grace In The Workplace

I asked Peter Drucker, … “Peter, why are you a Christian?” …He says, “Ken, there’s no better deal.” I said, “What do you mean?” And he said, “Who else has grace?”

The above was related by business consultant Ken Blanchard. I have been listening to a series of recordings on developing teams and Blanchard was giving a presentation on “Developing People: Giving and Receiving Feedback” when he made the above statement.

I believe that in all my years, which included a lifetime in church, a decade of training managers and a stint teaching business at the college level, that is the very first time I have ever heard anyone speak of “grace” as a leadership model. I am hoping to flesh this out a bit and thought I would throw the door open to you for suggestions. Two questions that I have are (1) what Biblical passages would relate to this premise?, and (2) what would a “grace based leadership model” look like in a secular business?

Anyone care to share your thoughts?
