Rick Altizer, CEO of Earnnest, wrote about Servant Leadership on thegospelcoaltion.org. One of his points was this: To go up, the way may be down.
Rick wrote of a time when he was in a McDonald’s executive training program. Even though he was a CPA and MBA, Rick spent two years working inside a McDonald’s store cleaning toilets and working weekends.
Those two years, however, prepared Rick to become a regional leader for McDonald’s. Serving in the humblest roles made him a better leader.
In Ephesians 4:9, Paul said about Jesus, “But what does “he ascended” mean except that he also descended to the lower parts of the earth?”
If Jesus was willing to lower himself unto death, shouldn’t we be willing to humbly serve at the lowest of levels?
