Be the Servant and You Will Become the Leader

Leadership is a tough thing for some people to grasp. Simply standing up when a leader is needed, sometimes isn't enough.

I personally take a position of servitude to stand out. It has been an attitude I've carried for a long time, it was something I was brought up with and it was ingrained into who I was going to be. At jobs, I would simply just "show up" ready to work and I truly would give it all I had for the day. Each day was a small victory for me.

Eventually my managers started asking, "what makes you show up like that everyday?" And my response was usually something like "I'm just doing my job" or "just trying to get things done." I know now that it was a humble attitude, but those micro-decisions helped shape me into what I am becoming today.

How do you show up every day? Are you a servant first? Well that's enough for now, I'm headed to serve at Church. ;0)
