Leaders lead. It's who we are more than what we do. When things are calm, we encourage and coach...when chaos ensues, we step into the foray and walk shoulder to shoulder with our teams. As the years unfold, we lead by helping others lead better and supporting them when they do not. As we walk through the various Leadership roles we have- whose we are can impact our day to day interactions more than we ever imagine. At 17, when I went to work at Disney- there were people and processes that shaped me "at work", yet there was a Friend who began to weave His Way into my work self. Jesus was saying "A new commandment I give...love one another" and Disney was showing me how to do it- Smile and "You're here to take care of our Guests".

Respect and honor- delivered in the workplace- is the Gospel- and it can be delivered without explanation or attribute. When we are pleasant, respectful, honor others, and do right things- it creates in our spaces some intrigue as to what makes us different and that opens doors to share why we're different.

Let's ask God to whisper into our lives the places where we need to let our examples speak louder than our words...

A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. John 13:34

Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves... Romans 12:10
