Don't Try to Serve Two Masters

From the book The Management Methods of Jesus, by Bob Briner:


'When considering the various jobs to be done and the available personnel to do them, executives are often tempted to "split up" an individual by assigning him or her to two or more supervisors as well as two or more job tasks. 


This is easy to do on an organizational chart. The reality is, however, that such an arrangement almost never works and almost always results in bruised feelings and poor performances. No one is happy. The job is done poorly - if at all. 


In Matthew 6:24 Jesus tells us in no uncertain terms: "No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other."'
