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 negclect 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)
