“For the kingdom of Heaven is like a man traveling to a far country, who called his servants and delivered his goods to them. And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey… His Lord said to him, well done, good and faithful servant; you have been over a few things,I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your Lord.” – Matthew 25:14,15 & 23

Our Challenge & Privilege“I think people want to be magnificent. It is the job of the leader to bring out the magnificence in people and

to create an environment where they feel safe and supported and ready to do the best job possible in accomplishing key goals.

This responsibility is a sacred trust that should not be violated. The opportunity to guide others to their fullest potential

is an honor and one that should not be taken lightly. As leaders, we hold the lives of others in our hands. These hands need to be gentle and caring and always available for support.”

Dr. Ken Blanchard
