Meekness
Meekness is not a characteristic highly valued in our world today. Meekness does not fit well into the desire to get ahead and climb the corporate ladder of success in the this capitalistic society. No, this dog-eat-dog world says that you walk over anyone who gets in your way without regard for others or ethical standards. This "me first" society is driven by the competitive edge and will do whatever it takes to win.
Meekness on the other hand sees others as more important than oneself. Meekness puts others first. Many confuse meekness with weakness. On the contrary, meekness is not weakness. It's strength under control. It's iron wrapped in velvet. In fact, meekness is the pinnacle of self-control. It doesn't fly off the handle and it isn't always "me first." Without meekness- leaders live lives of unbridled emotion which leads to chaos and confusion.
