A Time for Reflection
One of the often overlooked parts of servant-leadership is the importance of reflection and stillness. It is not all about 'doing'; it is also about using quiet time to evaluate, plan and also re-energize.
Greenleaf was well aware of the power of this. I must admit that it is a weakness in my own life - I would often rather be doing. I think that sometimes the blog postings demonstrate this quite well; I sometimes don't give ideas time to come to me; rather, I push myself to post and in doing so do not fully capture the essence of the concepts presented.
Thanksgiving is an occasion to not only spend quality time with family and friends being thankful for all the gifts we have been given, it is also a time to reflect on our journeys: past, present and future. I hope you have the opportunity to take some time these next few days to be both thankful and reflective, using this time to help center youselves as you live out servant-leadership.
Enjoy the holiday and I will "see you" on Monday!
