Do Your People Bring You Bad News?

One natural tendency of leaders is to put forward our best selves. Like you said, we are not purposely trying to appear perfect, but we don't mind if others are impressed. It takes a secure leader to develop a culture of authenticity where everyone on the team, including the leader, is encouraged, and expected to be who they are. How can we ensure you have a culture of authenticity that promotes psychological safety for the team?

Scriptures
1 Corinthians 8:7 (MSG) In strict logic, then, nothing happened to the meat when it was offered up to an idol. It’s just like any other meat. I know that, and you know that. But knowing isn’t everything. If it becomes everything, some people end up as know-it-alls who treat others as know-nothings. Real knowledge isn’t that insensitive. We need to be sensitive to the fact that we’re not all at the same level of understanding in this. Some of you have spent your entire lives eating “idol meat,” and are sure that there’s something bad in the meat that then becomes something bad inside of you. An imagination and conscience shaped under those conditions isn’t going to change overnight.
Proverbs 15:1 (MSG) A gentle response defuses anger, but a sharp tongue kindles a temper-fire.
Romans 15:1 We who are strong must be considerate of those who are sensitive about things like this. We must not just please ourselves.
Romans 14:2 For instance, one person believes it’s all right to eat anything. But another believer with a sensitive conscience will eat only vegetables.
Deuteronomy 28:54 Even the most gentle and sensitive man among you will have no compassion on his own brother or the wife he loves or his surviving children,
Deuteronomy 28:56 The most gentle and sensitive woman among you—so sensitive and gentle that she would not venture to touch the ground with the sole of her foot—will begrudge the husband she loves and her own son or daughter

Addiction Quotes

Quotes About Addictions

  • All sin tends to be addictive, and the terminal point of addiction is what is called damnation.  W. H. Auden (1907 - 1973), A Certain World (1970).
  • As long as habit and routine dictate the pattern of living, new dimensions of the soul will not emerge.  Henry Van Dyke, author (1852-1933).
  • Every clinging addiction I ever had came from a vain attempt to 'fill my cup' with something other than the Spirit of Christ.  Mark Wylie, Young Adult Minister for the University Church of Christ in Denver, CO.
  • For many, negative thinking is a habit, which over time, becomes an addiction... A lot of people suffer from this disease because negative thinking is addictive to each of the Big Three -- the mind, the body, and the emotions. If one doesn't get you, the others are waiting in the wings.  Peter McWilliams.
  • He who is alone with his sin is utterly alone.  Dietrich Bonhoeffer, pastor and theologian (1906-1945), Life Together.
  • I admire addicts. In a world where everybody is waiting for some blind, random disaster, or some sudden disease, the addict has the comfort of knowing what will most likely wait for him down the road. He's taken some control over his ultimate fate, and his addiction keeps the cause of death from being a total surprise.  Chuck Palahniuk, Satirist, novelist, b. 1961.
  • I can resist everything except temptation.  Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)
  • If you don't play, you can't win. Connecticut Lottery advertisement, paid for by politicians with dollar signs in their eyes.
  • In a consumer society there are inevitably two kinds of slaves; the prisoner of addiction and the prisoners of envy.  Ivan Illich (b. 1926), Austrian born American educator and priest.
  • Men of intemperate mind never can be free. Their passions forge their fetters.  Edmund Burke (1729-1797), British statesman.
  • Most of our faults are more pardonable than the means we use to conceal them.  François duc de la Rochefoucauld, 17th-century French philosopher.
  • Nothing is stronger than habit. Ovid (43 BC - AD 18).
  • O what a tangled web we weave, When first we practice to deceive! Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832), Marmion, Canto vi. Stanza 17.
  • People who drink to drown their sorrow should be told that sorrow knows how to swim.  Ann Landers.
  • Self-pity is easily the most destructive of the non-pharmaceutical narcotics; it is addictive, gives momentary pleasure and separates the victim from reality.  John W. Gardner, b. 1912, American Educator.
  • Sin has many tools, but a lie is the handle that fits them all.  Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., American Jurist (1841 -1935).
  • Sin never fulfills its promises. It will take you farther than you wanted to go, keep you longer than you wanted to stay, and make you pay more than you could ever afford.  Ken Davis, from Lighten Up.
  • The greatest of faults, I should say, is to be conscious of none.  Thomas Carlyle, 19th-century Scots-English historian, author (1795-1881); Heroes, Hero-Worship and the Heroic in History, (1840).
  • The innkeeper loves the drunkard, but not for a son-in-law.  Yiddish Proverb.
  • There is no more miserable human being than one in whom nothing is habitual but indecision.  William James (1842 - 1910), The Principles of Psychology (1890).
  • Tobacco is a filthy weed, That from the devil does proceed; It drains your purse, it burns your clothes, And makes a chimney of your nose. Benjamin Waterhouse, medical doctor (1754 - 1846).
  • Watch out when you're getting all you want. Fattening hogs ain't in luck.  Joel Chandler Harris, American writer (1848-1908).
  • Why is it drug addicts and computer aficionados are both called users?  Clifford Stoll.
  • You do anything long enough to escape the habit of living until the escape becomes the habit.  David Ryan.
  • As soon as healing takes place, go out and heal somebody else. --MAYA ANGELOU
