Redemptive Gift of the Ruler
The redemptive gift of Ruler also known as natural "Managers" enable people to get things done and to solve problems with very limited resources.
Design
- It is very important for them to have the people around them under pressure.
- They usually don’t care if the job is 100% done, they don’t care about the implementation details, as long as all the requirements are meet.
- They trust loyalty more than competence, because they can work with imperfect or broken people.
Strengths
- They cannot help to be empire builders.
- They thrive under pressure and loves it.
- They are very skilled at time management and are able to control his time even when they are very busy.
- They own problems and could function independently. They do not take blame or blame others when things go wrong. They rather figure out how to fix the problem.
- They do not need affirmation of other people.
- They can use imperfect, broken, incompetent people and get the job done.
Weaknesses
- They hate to be micromanaged.
- An immature ruler may neglect personal relationships for the sake of productivity.
Caution
They easily fall for the lie:
"I am worthy if I can deliver productivity."
They find fulfilment in building empires / getting things done, but sometimes at the cost of other people.
Therefore, their most important principle is to understand God's Freedom. (Balance task-driven pressure with freedom)
