By Dr. Brian Simmons | Dissent, in the context of organizational leadership, is the expression or holding of opinions at variance with those held by other organizational leaders and especially the ones at the top of the organization. Effective leaders mine out, like precious gold in the organization’s veins, dissenting opinions of others with the fierce determination to ground decision-making on the bedrock of ideation. These leaders refuse the mistaken and proud notion that they always know what is best for the organizations they lead. Disloyalty, on the other hand, defines a traitor and his/her treacherous, dangerous or deceptive acts in opposition to the mission, belief statements and core values of the organizations they help lead.

By Andrea Capuyan | Stewards are those who have been given a trust. That’s why a synonym for a board member is a trustee! So, all board members are steward leaders!

By Dr. Brian Simmons | To give someone their due is to give what justice demands. Simply put, it is to treat someone fairly. Steward leaders love and serve God by living and serving others. "He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God". (Micah 6:8) Due process is crucial to effective organizations because it ensures fairness, transparency, and consistency in decision-making. By providing clear procedures for handling disputes, grievances, and disciplinary actions, due process helps protect employees' rights, fosters trust, and mitigates the risk of legal challenges. Employers and employees are commanded to love and unity by God especially in the context of Christian organizations. Without due process, organizational leaders are not held accountable for sinful actions affecting those they lead. They should not be allowed to do whatever they want with no communication and no oversight. Without due process, individuals within an organization are treated unjustly, leading to a negative and unproductive work environment...
