What i’ve learned NOT to do as a servant-leader (thanks to my Labrador retriever called Lani):
1. Be sure to dominate any discussion or conversation taking place when you are in the room. Make sure that everyone is focused on you, what you want/need and are doing.
2. Be sure to keep people wondering what you are going to do next. Surprise keeps people on their toes and ready to jump into action - especially if they know that their shoes could be destroyed in the process.
3. Don’t allow anyone else to have any significant input into the lives of other people. Make sure that it truly is all about you - you are the one who should be the center of attention - that’s why God made you! So, BE the center of attention!
4. Persuade people to play when they should be working. This must certainly instill a lighter-hearted attitude to life and is also good for the physical heart. Play should be a major part of everyone’s work day.
5. Organization is for the weak-minded. Spontaneity is the buzz word of the day. Feel the urge to chase a tennis ball? Go for it! (See #4 for reinforcement of this principle.)
There may be others, but they’ll have to wait for my inspiration!
