A Leadership Insight from Vision Multiplier International https://visionmultiplierllc.wordpress.com/
I was reflecting this morning on these scriptures and the idea of how “service” can be a differentiator in the marketplace.
Not service solely with our words but, as leaders, having service to others being our primary daily intent – our DNA.
Oftentimes the marketplace feels complicated and crowded with more ideas and new products (old or innovative) to meet a need or to solve a problem.
However, all products and services are or should be designed to meet the needs of people who have emotions and feelings that must be met.
To the degree that we demonstrate service excellence and meet these emotional needs and feelings in the delivery of solutions – while building trust – our success can be assured.
Scripture reminds us of just two core principles (commandments) related to service.
“You shall love your neighbor as [you do] yourself. [Lev. 19:18.]“. Matthew 22:39 AMPC
This second commandment is about loving our neighbor as our selves which creates the base line behavior for all successful interactions.
Regardless of the background, gender, race, religion or belief systems, everyone on earth is “our neighbor” whom we are to serve with intentionality.
And by doing the great commandment, we will find grace, favor and success from the Lord In our business, community and family.
OMG
But upon further reflection, unfortunately, many of us do not yet love ourselves and therefore need a biblical solution for that.
The blessing is that this solution is found in the first commandment which is:
“…You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind (intellect). [Deut. 6:5.] “ Matthew 22:37 AMPC
As we learn to love the lord, we learn how much he loves us, created us and equips us to love ourselves – the core ingredient to be of service to others.
This is the great (most important) principal and first commandment for a reason.
In conclusion, it is my sincere prayer that as we enter the marketplace each day that we will have a mission/intent to strive for “service excellence” to our selves and our neighbors.
And we will By faith!
In Jesus Name.
Be blessed!
Be a Blessing!
”Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;
not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
with good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:
knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.“
Ephesians 6:5-8 KJV
