Listen to the latest 60 second episode of Integrity Moments with Rick Boxx
My friend, Larry, has worked hard to build a significant lawn care and tree service business with hundreds of employees and multiple locations. Yet, rather than sit in his office commanding the troops, Larry frequently goes out in the field trimming trees or helping a young employee with a lawn care treatment.
He has discovered that by working closely with his front-line team members, he better understands their needs, the customer desires and what issues need addressed. By humbly serving in this way, Larry has built a very loyal and productive team.
In Matthew 20:26, Jesus said, “Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave.”
God makes servants out of leaders and leaders, like Larry, out of servants.
