An opportunity to lead is an opportunity to serve and proper execution of each provides a positive example to those around you; at home, at work, in the gloom. Everyone’s watching, judging and taking notes. Be an example in your leadership and your servitude.
Shared a personal story about being a servant to others from this past weekend. Prep for Q School, Delivery of Q school, servitude to my family with meals/cleaning/care-taking, etc. I could have mailed it in with Q School, but what good would that do? For the other guys who showed up to be there alongside me, that was an honor and a gift back to me. If I show them it’s okay to take leadership lightly, they will do the same, and so creates a culture of mediocrity and “fake leadership”.
It’s not a self-brag, it’s not some self-fulfilling prophesy, it’s not sexy by any means and I didn’t get an award or a blue ribbon (not even a PABST!)… It’s what you’re supposed to do. It’s what we’re called to do as MEN. Serving others is a privilege and honor and it should be viewed as such. I’m giving to others what they’ll also provide back in return; a future investment, if you will. In time, these leaders will give back to me, to us, to F3, to their community and families and co-workers. Why should I sit idly by just taking when I can contribute and give back?
There’s so much to be grateful for, and oh so much to take for granted; keeping a proper perspective in mind and placing yourself third at all times keeps you properly grounded; Selfishness, greed, infidelity, over-consumption and gluttony (Oh, how I love Golden Corral!) are some of the many other consequences to losing that “third” mentality, losing focus and perspective.
Be a servant, be a leader, be a positive influencer today.
