Abstract

Although leadership is one both broadly defined and widely researched, it has yet to be thoroughly explored through exegetical methodologies. Moreover, there is much room in the literature for in-depth exegetical studies that also provide the reader with practical application. Since applied theory is the goal of most scientific inquiry, it seems important to examine a critical theme of leadership theory that accomplishes the goal: wisdom.  This research uses an inner texture analysis of Proverbs 5 to extrapolate practical leadership principles. This brief exploration reveals several connections between the wisdom found in the Hebrew Scriptures and modern leadership theory.
