To those who haven't been in positions of authority this may seem counter-intuitive. Many think that leaders value those who agree with everything they say. (So called "Yes men") And man-pleasers tend to gravitate towards those is high positions of authority. Rather than tell him the truth, they'll tell him what they think he wants to hear in order to get what they want. But a person that speaks the truth, regardless of the consequences, that is a rare and valued commodity in an adviser to the king. So if you want to be valued by those in authority - tell them the truth. And tell them what they need to hear, not what they want to hear. If they don't value that, then they are not much of a leader. The Berean Christian Bible Study Resources Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
