CharacterAnd How It Defines

Us

Character is what defines and separates all of us. It separates cops from criminals and Jesus from Lucifer

The world is not always great and not everyone

demonstrates leadership and character. We all have the ability. Our faith, will, and strength is constantly being tested for weakness. Our decisions are the answers to these test; but, they are not always correct. That is the test of faith.

Romans 12:2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect

The Test of Faith

Leaders are the people whose faith is tested

the most. Because it takes character to wake up, to help and guide people. Then to use all of your time and energy and do it again the next day. Values, beliefs, character, and integrity affect leaders' daily choices. That is why many workplaces prefer to hire leaders with great character and integrity. These characteristics help to improve safety, and performance.

Character isn't one thing but many

Trust, Loyalty, and Morale is what defines

character. Character is a much needed attribute in the workplace. Without trust, the employer is hesitant to leave you unsupervised. Without loyalty, an employer is timid to trust you on long projects without fear of you quitting the project midway. Without morale, the team lacks cohesiveness.

Character in the workplace

“Character is doing the right thing when

nobody’s looking. There are too many people who think that the only thing that’s right is to get by, and the only thing that’s wrong is to get caught.” ~ J.C. Watts

So without character people lack integrity, selflessness, dignity, poise, and wisdom.
