Dave Thomas, founder of Wendy’s Hamburgers: “I got my MBA long before my GED. I even have a photograph of me in my MBA graduation outfit – a knee-length work apron. I guarantee you that I’m the only founder among America’s big companies whose picture in the corporate annual report shows him wielding a mop and a plastic bucket. That wasn’t a gag; it was a case of leading by example. At Wendy’s, MBA doesn’t mean Master of Business Administration. It means Mop-Bucket Attitude. It’s how we define satisfying the customer through cleanliness, quality food, friendly service, and atmosphere.”
I Timothy, Titus and I Peter all agree with this type of leadership. This attitude should be modeled in every church.
nor as being lords over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock;
Roll up your spiritual sleeves and go to work. Give it some thought.
