Perhaps the most essential aspect of professional life is . . . our relationships. Workplaces, entrepreneurial endeavors, business deals, leadership, and economics all depend on healthy relational connections. In fact, an economy is a vast network of relational interactions.
And yet many studies show a significant breakdown in trust between employers and employees. Leaders who relate poorly fail to gain the respect of those they lead. Or when corruption becomes systemic, distrust will undermine business negotiations and overall economies. In fact, very little happens without healthy relationships.
In this First Mondays webinar, we will discuss what the Scriptures say about “Working Together.” A lot is at stake. By learning to imitate God’s model for relationships, we can bring meaning and hope to the people around us. And if we relate well at work, we will be more likely to advance in our professions.
Panelists will include Samuel Seal, a scientist and high-level manager for the Waters Corporation, and Miguel Raimao, a mechanical engineer, entrepreneur, and vice president of a global powerhouse in the energy sector. We will also include insights from the brand new book by GCN Press author Jim Petersen (published posthumously) titled Working Together: A Practical Theology of Workplace Relationships.
