Inspired by Chapter 7 of Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill
CULTURE OF SERVICE
Performing SERVICE for others is the root of all
commerce and economy – locally, regionally and
globally. It is what gives currency its VALUE. Doing
things for others they would rather not do for
themselves.
Here is what is interesting: Most folks with an
EMPLOYEE MENTALITY believe they are owed a check just
for showing up.
If I were Your boss, I would first ask, “What SERVICE
did You give this week?”
If You replied, “I brought You Your coffee all week,”
my answer would be, “That is a common courtesy. I would
not expect You to pay me for brining YOU coffee.”
Now, if You replied, “I kept the floors and aisles
clean all week,” my answer would be, “Well done, good
Servant! You provided an attractive and safe
environment for our customers. You have indeed earned a
claim against the services of Your fellow men and
women. There is dignity in ALL Service. ”
LEADERS VS. MANAGERS
One of the things that really frosts my drawers: When a
Leader builds a team under someone, or an employer
hires someone to supervise a team – and the supervisor
tells the leader, “These are MY people now. Leave them
alone!”
A Manager says, “Do this and don’t do that!”
A LEADER says, “Watch what I do – and if it works, then
I will help You do it too.”
A Manger dreams up schemes and throws other folks into
the fray like cannon fodder.
A LEADER FOLLOWS a proven, blazed trail and leaves
breadcrumbs along the way for others to Follow.

P.S. Managers tell their Student/Clients, “You need to
post Lessons.” LEADERS post Lessons.
(Reminds me of the guy who asked a passerby at a fork
in the road, “Hey! Did You see a crowd of people come
by here awhile ago?”
“Yeah, a really BIG crowd!”
“Would You please tell me which way they went? I am
their leader.”)
