Opening Doors
Today I'm excited about a $5 purchase I made at Half Price books.
It's a doorstop for the heavy door at the entrance to Hero Headquarters.
Perfect, right?
And, if you know me, you know that I see more than just a doorstop. I see an acrostic for four critical aspects of leadership.
S is for service.
T is for trustworthiness.
O is for open-mindedness.
P is for passion.
Effective leaders start with the heart. They're on the lookout for ways to make things better because they're all about serving others. Effective leaders are also trustworthy. We can count on them because they are honest in their dealings, they keep their promises, and they show integrity by being in the right place at the right time, doing the right thing. Effective leaders have a growth mindset. They're lifelong learners who firmly believe that anything is possible. Anything. And effective leaders live life with great passion. They go to great lengths to enthusiastically and wholeheartedly transfer energy and light to others.
But those are just my thoughts about what STOP might stand for.
I'm so eager to hear what my superheroes at Bales think when I pose the inquiry: What leadership skills will open doors for us?
If you're in the area, please stop by Hero Headquarters;
we'll keep the door opened for you!

Hot Dog - It's Opening Day
Hip Hip Hooray - it's Opening Day!
At Westwood-Bales, it's a time-honored tradition to take the Gruener grill to school and cook up some fun complete with Ballpark franks and all the fixins.
This year in new twist to our tradition, we rustled up some
dog-gone dandy dads to pitch in and man the grill and service line.
Service doesn't need to be great to be grand. Check out these everyday stories with ordinary people doing extraordinary things:
How will you serve others today?
