A Good Boss

     There is much to be said about being a boss.  Bosses are different in desires, demands, and attitudes.  And admit it!  We all want to be a boss. 
     When I think about the boss over me, I have to appreciate the fact that there is only one true boss.  He is loving, kind, and willing to sacrifice His very own life for me.  Yet Jesus gives us the freedom to make choices, allowing us to be the boss over ourselves; however, with guiding words on how to be a good boss.  Therefore, even though you may think you will never be a boss, in the real world you actually are. 
     The Word of God is filled with words of wisdom on what it takes to make a good boss in attitude, selflessness, responsibility, respectfulness, and in humility.  Below are just a few scriptures, but a full study of the Bible will yield a host of good leadership skills.
