One of my learning team members provided an interesting metaphor today that is apparently a popular concept in India. I found it illustrative in many dimensions, both in a managerial sense and as a Christian metaphor.
Imagine a person as a tree. Now imagine that a very successful person is a tree bearing much fruit. We know that when a tree is heavy with fruit, it bends down toward the ground. This is an illustration of that person's humility, in bowing low to the ground, and also of their generousity, since the tree heavy with fruit bends low, making it easier for people to pick the fruit and enjoy it.
To me this sounds like, "to those to whom much is given, much will be expected..." Luke 12:48
