In your life, in your home, in your family, at your job, during the year, for vacation, in your marriage, you fill in the blank – what do you REALLY want?

This customer service initiative popularized by CEO Frank Blake in 2010 inspired one of our values at theChapel. Every week, we take intentional time to pray for, recognize, and celebrate people who are making a difference in our organization! Even if you're not leading a church, don't forget that your business is still the people business. Customer service matters. And saying "THANK YOU?"

| Titles & Rings: Why Playing For A Winning Team Matters More Than Your Position | 17 May 2021 | 00:21:55 | |
In this special XL episode, Pastor Q talks about job descriptions as merely the starting point for influence in an organization. Simon Sinek says, “A leader without a title is better than a title without the ability to lead." Leading simply from a position or job title is only the most rudimentary form of leadership. But what if you could set the job description, title, or Instagram bio aside for a moment and ask, "What do I need to do today to help my team win?" It's those types of team players that make it possible for the team to meet it's goals. It's not about my title, it's about winning a ring. And the leaders that recognize team members as being essential contributors? They create a winning culture that everyone wants to be a part of, regardless of title or position. Too much great content to confine to 10 minutes this week! Enjoy. | |||
