Building Organizations Practically

No organization will enjoy lasting success unless it is built according to the will and ways of God. One of the key ways to align with the will and ways of God is to understand delegated authority. To build an organization, for profit or not-for-profit, requires sound thinking about authority. All licit authority comes from God and must be subject to his will and ways. To achieve enduring success, employers and managers must always function knowing they will ultimately give an account to God for their actions. Obedience to the will and ways of God in the context of delegated authority is the only way to true success. And the only way to live obediently is to be empowered by Christ. Therefore to build enduring excellent organizations requires submission to divinely ordained authority throughout the organization and empowerment by Christ to live accordingly.
