Leading with Accountability.
Manage episode 416807203 series 3438363
In 2 Samuel 3:31-38, we see David’s response to the death of Abner, who had been a prominent figure in Saul’s kingdom. David’s mourning and lamentation show a sense of accountability and leadership. He doesn’t shy away from expressing sorrow, even though Abner had been his adversary in the past. Instead, he acknowledges the loss and recognizes Abner’s contributions, despite their complicated history.
This passage teaches us about the importance of leading with accountability by facing the consequences of our actions, acknowledging mistakes, and showing empathy even towards those we may have conflicted with. David’s example reminds us that true leadership isn’t just about authority; it’s about taking responsibility for our role in both the good and the bad, and fostering a culture of accountability within our communities.
