It is the proper way to act towards people who are different... 1 Cor 12: No gift envy (The foot should not say, “because I am not a hand, I don’t belong to the body.” Ear should not say to the Eye 1 Cor 12: No gift Pride: The eye can’t say to the hand, “I don’t need you.

and the leader must ante up first.” “Trust is always about being vulnerable and authentic at the inmost core level… and the leader must ante up first.” “The Truth Is That Trust Rules. Getting people to work together begins with building mutual trust. Before asking for trust from others, you must demonstrate your own trust in them. That means taking the risk of disclosing what you stand for, value, want, hope for, and are willing and unwilling to do. You also have to be predictable and consistent in your actions; forthright, candid, and clear in your communication; and serious about your promises. And, as we’ve learned so many times, leaders are far better served when they’re forthcoming with information. There’s nothing more destructive to trust than deceit, and nothing more constructive than candor.”
