摘要：The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor. (New International Version) Much is required of leaders, and much is at stake. "If any man sets his heart on being an overseer, he desires a noble task" (I Timothy 3:1). Sadly, heightened scrutiny in the wake of corporate and political scandals and a seemingly endless wave of leaders‘ failures in every organizational and religious context imaginable has caused many to give leadership a bad name. Being a leader doesn‘t seem to be that noble anymore in the eyes of many. What happened to Paul‘s admonition to Timothy? What happened to noblesse oblige? Why the lack of integrity? Leadership failure, according to Palmer, is not so much a failure of ethics as it is a failure of human wholeness.
