"No one is useless in this world who lightens the burden of it for someone else." ~Benjamin Franklin
These are wise words from a founding father of our nation.
Franklin understood that we find meaning and purpose through serving others.
Service is one of the greatest, most dignifying gifts you can give another human being. Through service, you silently convey that you care for them, that they matter to you, and that you desire to improve their life.
How often have you thought of leadership as serving others? Many people I know and work with automatically associate leadership with power, position, and titles. They think of leaders as the people who give out the orders and are typically the ones BEING served rather than the ones who are doing the serving.
But great leaders, the best leaders - and people of true influence, see themselves as servants of those they have been privileged to lead first and foremost.
