I have seen too many men confuse anger with authority. The raised voice, the clenched jaw, the sharp response—sometimes it feels like strength in the moment, but it is not leadership. A man of Godly value is called to carry presence, not pressure. Your leadership is measured not by how quickly you can silence a room, but by how deeply you can guide it with wisdom, patience, and self-control. Scripture says, “He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty” (Proverbs 16:32). True strength is not the explosion—it is the restraint.
When anger takes the driver’s seat, judgment gets clouded, words cut deeper than intended, and relationships suffer damage that apologies cannot always mend. I’ve had moments where I thought my frustration would fix a situation faster, but instead it left scars I later had to heal. A man of value does not hide his emotions, but he masters them under the discipline of the Spirit. That mastery is what builds trust in your leadership, whether in the home, in ministry, or in business. People follow steadiness, not volatility.
So brother, when you feel anger boiling, pause. Leadership is not about proving you are in charge—it is about proving God is in charge of you. Let your tone be seasoned with grace, your decisions anchored in peace, and your influence shaped by patience. That is where your true authority lies. Anyone can shout. It takes a man of Godly value to lead without losing his peace.
