Joyce Meyer(On being in a position of leadership) Even if it's your dog, you've got authority over somebody. Start treating him better.
About This Quote
If you are in a position of leadership, you have authority over people. You can make them do things or treat them better. Start by treating your dog better because he depends on you. When you are in a leadership position, it is your responsibility to make sure that those who are under your authority are treated right. Proverbs 13:24 says, “Whoever spares the rod hates their children but honors the man who loves their father.” This verse teaches that it is important for those who are in power to take care of those under them because they depend on them.
