Study 3 of 13 on Jeremiah
“As a manager….a leader…It is so easy to surround yourself with people who think just like you, act like you, and choose like you. Believing that similarity in thought strengthens your purpose and goal. Because everyone is like you, it is easy for a voice in the desert…or in a cistern… to be ignored…or worse punished because it speaks truth…calling out wrong not for personal gain, not to shame, or not for any selfish reason…but because truth calls out wrong…like the voice that separated light from darkness. The question is as managers…as leaders…are we so far in darkness…that we cannot recognize the light of truth?”—Falvo Fowler
