Best Place to Work

Being awarded with ๐—•๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜ ๐—ฃ๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—ช๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ธ ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐—ข๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ต๐—ฎ has stoked my gratefulness for our Pattern team.
 
It has also led me to consider: ๐˜„๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐—ฒ๐˜€ ๐—ฎ ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ ๐—ด๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐˜„๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ธ ๐—ฎ๐˜?
 
My mind took me back to the first few chapters of Genesis in the bible.
 
God created Adam.
 
What was the first thing God gave Adam?
 
Not Eve.
 
God gave Adam a ๐˜ซ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฃ. He gave him ๐˜„๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ธ to do. Even in a perfect world, before sin's toxicity invades, God wired us to actively participate in advancing and cultivating his creation.
 
Since God invented man and work, it's no wonder that embracing His principles and ordinances for life, relationships, and work produce maximum impact.
 
So, what are some of those biblical principles that make a great place to work? Here are few off the top of my head:
 
โ€ข๐—Ÿ๐—ผ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด the people you work with - 1 Corinthians 13:4-6, Ephesians 1:16
โ€ข๐—ช๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ธ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฑ - Colossians 3:23, Romans 12:11
โ€ขLeading through ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด - Ephesians 6:7
โ€ขConsidering ๐—ผ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜€ ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ณ - Philippians 2:3
โ€ข๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฒ๐˜„๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด resources well - 1 Peter 4:10, Matthew 25:14-30
โ€ขNo compromising ๐˜๐—ฟ๐˜‚๐˜๐—ต - Ephesians 6:14
โ€ขMaintaining a ๐—ท๐—ผ๐˜†๐—ณ๐˜‚๐—น and ๐—ด๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ณ๐˜‚๐—น attitudes - 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
โ€ขDoing what you say you will do - Matthew 5:37
โ€ข๐—™๐˜‚๐—ป - not joking - Ecclesiastes 2:24-25
 
Making a great place to work requires everybody's buy-in to these principles. Any violation of these principles will cause a breakdown and deliver less than desirable results.
 
These principles are not complicated, but they are difficult to execute and live out. But it is ๐—ช๐—ข๐—ฅ๐—ง๐—› ๐—œ๐—ง.
 
What other biblical principals do you think of that should be added to this list?
