How to Control Your People by:Raymond S. Usbal
There is a struggle for power and everybody is involved
. Everybody is doing everything in his power, at times even over set limits, to extend what he currently have.Why?
It is commonly believed that we can only enjoy things that we control. Because of that, we want more power so that we can exercise more control over things.
That is the truth -- a half of it.
Some people take advantage of others to advance their own agenda. Others in their way to success lead in their train people who have their own share of the success as well.
Jesus said, "Give and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you." (Luke 6:38 ESV)
That is the other half.
If you share the power that is in your stead, people will allow you to influence their lives more. You will end up having more control.
You didn't have it because you are pulling the strings behind the scenes but because people do willingly submit themselves under your authority. It's no longer because they have to, but because they want to.
Why would they do that?
They understand that you value their success as much as our own.
