Leadership Promises - Give Yourself Away

July 3 Give Yourself Away "And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma."  Ephesians 5:2 As a team leader, how do you cultivate an attitude of selflessness? Begin by doing the following: 1. Being generous: If team members are willing to give of themselves generously to the team, then it is being set up to succeed. 2. Avoiding internal politics: Good team players worry about the benefit of their teammates more than themselves. 3. Displaying loyalty: If you show the people on your team loyalty, they will return loyalty in kind. Loyalty fosters unity, and unity breeds team success. 4. Valuing interdependence more than independence: In the United States, we value independence highly, because it is often accompanied by innovation, hard work, and a willingness to stand for what's right. But independence taken too far is a characteristic of selfishness, especially if it begins to harm or hinder others. Seneca stated, "You must live for others if you wish to live for yourself."
