Matthew 18:1 - 20

Jesus teaches His disciples about the proper perspective they need in their lives and work.  It is vital to have the proper perspective on greatness.  Greatness does not look like mightiness and overwhelming strength or influence.  Greatness is found in childlike humility, wonder and trust.  

It is further necessary to have the proper perspective on influence.  It is far better, in Jesus' estimation of life, to be permanently damaged than to exert improper influence on someone. 

It is also necessary to have the proper perspective on individual value.  Jesus teaches that the needs of the one outweigh the needs of the many; and that He is interested not only in the many, but also in the individuals who make up that number.  

Finally, Jesus teaches the proper perspective on handling disagreements.  The proper method is to always handle the disagreement with as few people necessary to bring about an amenable solution.  Even when no amenable solution can be reached, there are still practices in place for handling these interpersonal disputes (i.e.  "Love your enemy").
