Small tasks. Big impact.

Friday, November 1

After a basketball game for our oldest son recently, we were waiting on the team after the game. I looked over into the bleachers and saw the Athletics Director for the school walking row by row, picking up trash. It was late; he didn’t even have to be there at this point, yet he was there cleaning.

The phrase, “It’s not my job,” popped into my mind. And how often people have the opportunity to serve their team, lend a helping hand, and make things better, yet they respond with, “It’s not my job.”

Due to role and ego, we sometimes think we are above doing certain things. Rather than taking care of what we know needs to be taken care of, we wait for somebody else to notice and do it, or we go find someone with less power and authority than us and ask them to take care of it

No job is too small when it comes to being a leader worth following and building influence. We must simply do what needs to be done, and meet the need in front of us.

Humility wins.
