Abstract

Understanding how Peter stirred a pioneering drive yet compassionate heart possibly allows Christian leaders to develop team members’ strengths, cultivate the organization’s entrepreneurial culture, lessen employee turnover, and improve overall employee satisfaction. The Apostle Peter’s life demonstrated six themes of leading with compassion, and each theme explains how compassion is an indispensable trait for pioneering leaders of all organizations. Compassionate pioneers: (a) see people with eternal perspective; (b) meet personal needs; (c) show no partiality; (d) advocate for justice; (e) manage humbly; and (f) value godly character.
