Today is National Leadership Day!

Do you think you are a leader? Many people say yes, but often people get in over their heads believing they are good leaders and fail.
On the Morning Thing Thursday, Eric shared ways that you can lead like Jesus, even if you’re not in charge.
Two important things to remember are
• Be empathetic: Whenever something bad or unexpected happens, put yourself in the person’s shoes and try and think how they feel before reacting. Everyone is fighting a battle of some kind and it could be a sign that they need help in more ways than just at work.
• Don’t be just a leader, set the example (Eric uses S-T-E as a reminder). Many employees believe that their bosses live by the credo, “Do as I say, not as I do.” That is not a good attitude to have when dealing with anyone.
The bible teaches us “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.”
1 Timothy 4:12 (NIV)
