View from the Summit

Leadership is a topic that is usually discussed in a business or work context, but today I want to talk to you about leadership within the family. Let me share my thoughts with you on how you can be a ‘Servant Leader’ in your family.

The word ‘Servant Leadership’ makes some of us uncomfortable because it sounds like we are being asked to act as a doormat for other people or as if we are being asked to play the role of ‘the nice guy’, who is weak and taken advantage of by everyone.

But that is far from the truth.

Servant leadership is about being a real man. It is one of the most powerful forms of leadership where you serve your family with unconditional love, going the last mile for your wife, exercising authority with compassion, putting your family’s needs ahead of yours, taking leadership decisions without thinking about your own agenda, doing the right things that need to be done and leading your family to a good place.

What are your goals for this month? You might be one of those people with answers on the tip of your tongue. You could be someone who hasn’t given much thought to monthly goals. In reality, there’s no difference between people who set goals and those who don’t. Having a goal doesn’t mean anything if it doesn’t inspire action.

Don’t get me wrong…it is important to set goals. But you can’t stop there. For goals to become reality, you must execute a plan. This is what separates the dreamers from the achievers—dreamers have ideas; achievers have plans.

Do you ever get stressed? That’s a pretty dumb question because everyone experiences stress. Some people handle stress well, while others suffer with its consequences. As we think more about getting things done, we need to stop and talk honestly about the effect stress has on you and your family.
