Regardless of spiritual persuasion, or lack thereof, we as human beings share this world and must respect each other more than ourselves. If we continuously consider the needs of others as more important, then we will become a worthy servant to each other. We will become true professionals far too busy doing our own work than to be concerned with 'I want to be the boss.' The true CEO or business owner who's priority is to live for others, will not use such insulting language because they must carry the burden of genuine responsibility.
True leaders will always cry out to the Creator as the supreme ruler: Blessed are you O God, Ruler of the Universe. 1
If our Hebrew language is not your taste, try the Latin, 'Non Nobis Domine' 2 or maybe a genuine 'I can't do this without your help, please help me.'
True leaders will always confess their need for help and their own frailties.
True leaders will always do what needs doing at the moment rather than wait for someone else: If a clean paper trash is on the ground for goodness sake, please pick it up and put it in the trash can! In other words, if my Lord and Good Master Jesus is willing to wash my feet, shouldn't I do the same?
True leaders will always live transparent in a glass house. Everyone assumes to know everything about the leader whether true or false with no consequence to themselves. Isolation is one of the heavy crosses in leadership.
True leaders will always step up and take the bullet, the complaint, the full responsibility for someone else with no comment, advertisement, or complaint.
A true leader is true to themselves and others without comment; a true leader gives the reward and takes the punishment.
After all, 'The buck stops here.' 3
