Listen to the latest 60 second episode of Integrity Moments with Rick Boxx
A former Navy Seal, Jeff Bramstedt, was greeting a long line of people after a speech when a nine-year-old boy named Tommy limply stuck out his hand and looked to the ground. Jeff looked Tommy in the eyes and said, “You can do better.”
Jeff then trained Tommy to master a firm handshake. Afterwards, Jeff handed him a $20 bill and said, “I just invested $20 in you. In return, promise me you’ll use what I taught you with everyone you meet.” Tommy nodded.
Jesus said in Luke 6:40, “A pupil is not above his teacher; but everyone, after he has been fully trained, will be like his teacher.”
As leaders, it’s up to us to have the confidence and courage to train younger leaders like Jeff did with Tommy.
