Bob’s leadership # 4
March 15, 2021
It’s common today for leaders to be so removed from their team members to not know their concerns and needs. I quote Bob Neff. ‘Care about them. Let them know that. They will be more satisfied and fulfilled giving of themselves to the common mission. Be available, give personal time to each individual so they know you care about them.’ I saw this leader showing up to help them paint their houses, carry furniture on days they moved.
Many leaders are provided services others can’t afford. They lose touch with their struggles financially and time limitations. A sure way to not know is to isolate oneself. Have a protective entourage, silo communication sifted through others. This leader made himself available.
Jesus cooked fish for his team, washed their feet, ate and walked with them. Serve them in their world.
