I think to be a great leader you must serve. I consider myself a servant first and a leader second. You have to set an example of service in order to inspire the work of others. You can’t just tell people what to do you have to show them how to do it. While you serve you can also train others to do good works. A good leader will work hard for their people to create opportunities for those they are in charge of.

Blood Donation – Give The Gift Of Life
I work for a blood bank in its telephone recruiting department. That means I call folks to set up blood donation appointments. In the year I have worked at our regional blood bank, Blood Assurance I have learned that giving blood is important. There are patients in hospitals who need it every day to save and sustain life.
The opportunity donate is a great way to help your family, friends and neighbors by having a safe and adequate blood supply available to those who need it. If you have an opportunity give the gift of life whenever you can. People who need it will thank you for it.
I Am Humble and I Am Contrite When Needed
Humility is a important character trait to have. Being contrite can help rebuild bridges that have caught fire through my own verbal mistakes. Admitting when one has done wrong is something I don’t have a problem doing. When there have been hurt feelings I will say sorry and I will want to try to reconcile with the persons I have offended. Never fear that when I have done somebody wrong I do what I can to make it up to them. The world has too many people who have chips on their shoulders over things that don’t mean much in eternity. Forgiveness is also a great virtue to have. So lets seek peace and cooperation among the world where we carry around burdens that could be let go.
The World Needs You!
We need more caring in the world. People willing to help out in times of trouble. Individuals who think about the community and those around them more than themselves. We need people of all stripes willing to make a difference. The world needs you, now more than ever. Be a hero, without a cape.
Happy Monday Gang!
I hope each of you has a great day today. We all know its Monday and not many of us like Mondays but lets roll with the punches so to speak. I am filling in as the boss in my department today so I have stuff on my plate. Lets see how the coming days will unfold. The experience is something I am grateful for.
The Old Guy, The Younger Follower, How Does This Work?
I am a middle-aged dork and it always amazes me when I get younger followers. Many of them are like half my age. I am not all that cool y’all. Sometimes my efforts to be relevant come across as being silly or head shaking. Maybe people like genuine people no matter what time of life they are in.
Thanks for your interest and friendship anyway.
