"What about those rules makes those who live under them somehow, in your opinion, unfit to have authority over others? "

It's simple. Authoritarian leadership is useless where innovation and creativity are required. Graduates from this school or BJU, I'm sure, have been trained in an authoritarian system, and embrace that system, since they manage to live in that world for four years, at least.

It stands to reason that those attitudes will follow them through their lives. That's fine, for them, I guess, but putting them in charge of other employees who do not share their narrow view would be a serious management error.

We've all worked for one autocratic boss or another, for whom the rules mean more than the goals of the company. Such bosses are poor leaders and soon earn the enmity of all their subordinates....

That's why.

I don't think you're giving the grads enough credit for having the brains to see the difference between the strict rules they lived under and the rest of the "real world." By that logic, grads of the anything-goes public colleges we have today would be incapable of exercising leadership at all, yet many do and do it well.

Those kids want to go to a school where Christ is put front and center. Are they overly legalistic? Yeah. Do they sometimes lose their view of their Savior for the forest of rules in their way? Possibly. But it's still providing the Christ-centered education that these students and their parents want. And the rules provide structure and discipline that some of those kids probably need.

The LU grads I've known have been no better- and no worse-adjusted than the grads from the public university I attended.

"It's simple. Authoritarian leadership is useless where innovation and creativity are required"

That is a flat out un-truth.

Some of the most creative people in history lived in ruthless, repressive societies or worked for a much stricter than now Church.


Your opinion is only that, don't try to pass it off as fact.
