Work's golden rule

What would your workplace look like if everyone genuinely treated others the way they wanted to be treated?

In this episode, Tom Nelson tells the story of Holly and Chris Justice, who built their medical device company, Engenious Design, around one simple guiding question: how would we want to be treated? That question shapes everything, from paying vendor invoices in just five days instead of the industry standard, to giving every job applicant a timely, human response.

Drawing on Jesus's words in Matthew 7:12 and Luke 6:31, Tom unpacks the golden rule as far more than good manners, showing how it can reshape not just individual relationships, but entire organisations and business models.

You'll learn:
-How the golden rule is rooted in Jesus's summary of the whole of Torah
-Why some of the world's most respected companies are rethinking business around people and planet, not just profit
-What to do when your workplace doesn't share your values
-How to carve out your own "pocket of greatness" within any organisation, even without positional power

The golden rule isn't just a guide for your personal conduct. Lived out consistently, it becomes one of the most compelling witnesses to the truth of The Gospel in your Monday world.
