Wisdom in leadership includes the wisdom to love truth-tellers. A king who delights in righteous lips creates a culture of honesty around him. Conversely, a leader who surrounds himself with flattery is heading toward ruin. This is a call both to truthful speech and to leadership that welcomes it.
Memory phrase: Good leaders love truth.
Talk about it: Why is it important for leaders to love people who tell them the truth?
Prayer: God, help me speak truth to those I serve.
