Who Said It… Lane McGullion
Lane McGullion manages projects for a power generating company in Georgia, and is a leader in his church's men's ministry. Its claim to fame is constructing an 80 percent scale model of the Tabernacle—that's 12' tall, 24' wide, and 36' long—with furnishings. Lane's wife, Sonya, serves as the children's church coordinator. They have two girls and a boy. Lane likes to sing and is a die-hard Auburn University football fan. What He Said… Performance Appraisal
Remember your first review at a new company? Have I lived up to the references' glowing description of my abilities? you wondered. Or should I bring an empty box to pack my belongings?
As a Christ follower, you may never be called into a conference room, but you face a different kind of workplace appraisal. During a conversation about current events, politics, or what you did this weekend, your biblical worldview will surface (hopefully you're not trying to hide it). Your words will challenge and possibly offend.
That's when the performance appraisal begins. Your coworkers will begin watching with the zeal of a private detective to see if you measure up to the bar you've set so high. You'll have the opportunity to share the words of life, but if you also tell off-color jokes, will anyone take you seriously? You maintain that Christ gave himself up for others, but if you fail to lend a hand to a coworker who's falling behind, your words will fall on deaf (and lost) ears. So make sure your deeds back up your words.
