Are you A Servant Leader?

My dad was the first person to help me understand “servant leadership” when I was a kid.

“Whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant."

Dad continues to be the best example of that concept. From the many talks that he wrote and rehearsed with me as a youth, hopping on my purple bicycle to delver my paper route when our scout troop’s return was delayed from a camping trip, to secretly washing his car with my mom before a date so that I would make a good impression; Dad has always been on the lookout for ways to help those he leads be more successful.

As the leader of our family and the many other leadership roles he has filled over the years, he has always lead by example and been the first to serve those he leads. His example has always been one to follow because he leads by serving.

Happy Father’s Day Dad.

Have a great week as you lead by serving.
