During his fourth missionary journey, Paul had instructed Timothy to care for the church at Ephesus while he went on to Macedonia. ( 1 Timothy 1:3). When he realized that he might not return to Ephesus in the near future, he wrote the first letter to Timothy. Paul chooses his words carefully as he instructs Timothy As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus Besought is a strong word that Paul used to convey a sense of urgency and to show that the Christian leader is responsible to instruct those he leads. In 1 Timothy 3:15, Paul articulates the reason for the letter and clarifies his instruction to the young Timothy: But if I tarry long, that thou may knowest how thou oughtest to behave thyself1. He wanted to articulate his leadership values to Timothy.
A leader that is willing to expend resources without clearly defined and articulated values is essentially creating a formula for failure. Enthusiasm, excitement, innovation, and zeal can be great traits with proper direction. Values constitute this direction. If leaders do not deliberately shape organizational values, the organization will form its own. "Your organization will be guided by values, whether or not you deliberately decide what those values are. It can't be assumed that naturally occurring values will be desirable.2 Paul understood that it was essential to define Christian leadership values for Timothy and the other leaders at Ephesus through his letter.
Though the letter was addressed to Timothy, it was designed for the benefit of the entire church to provide instruction on the conduct of leadership. In a time where books were scarce, Paul was undoubtedly aware that the letter would be read to the entire congregation. Leaders at every level must be aware of how their personal values shape the values-based culture. This does not mean that they have to infuse their own values into the organization. However, leaders who ignore their responsibility to shape organizational values will create a culture that is not moving in the direction they want to go. If organizational culture is left to self-formation, it will run to the lowest common denominator and form its own restrictive and counterproductive rulebook.3 We must carefully choose, train, and develop anyone aspiring to leadership.
