Reading – 1 Timothy 4:6-16

Highlight Verse:

“Don’t let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity.”
‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭4‬:‭12‬ ‭NLT‬‬

I’ve had the privilege of taking leadership classes from some superb leaders.

They were the kind of people who inspired people to follow them by example and encouraging words rather than coercion.

The founders of that company based their leadership style on examples from the Bible.

The level of satisfaction of their employees was through the roof. The company thrived under their leadership.

One of those leaders passed away a couple of years ago. One of his former employees, the man who hired me to that company and who also helped teach those leadership classes, just passed away a couple of weeks ago.

His example had a profound influence on how I live my professional life.

While the company has been absorbed into a larger one, some of that legacy lives on in our local management.

As I lead others, I try to continue that legacy.

What leaders have influenced you the most?
How have you influenced others?
