25 May The Mission Minute Issue #7
During this time of staying at home, Zoom calls, and reading overwhelming amounts of information — Mission Triangle is excited to pass along a weekly “Mission Minute” full of simple nuggets of encouragement, key learnings, and announcements. We find them helpful and hope you do as well!
Biblical Truth
- Sacrifice: Today is Memorial Day, a day when we honor the sacrifice of so many. Our thankfulness starts with the greatest example of sacrifice of all, Jesus. As we consider how we are to lead our nonprofits, let us remember the leadership example of sacrifice set before us, especially in caring for our employees during this time.
Sound Business Principle
- Leadership: Again, today is Memorial Day, a day when we also honor the leadership of so many. Leaders voluntarily step into the issues of today’s world and vow to do something about them. May we all work with this type of dedication.
“Leadership is solving problems. The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them.” – Colin Powell, retired 4-star general and US Secretary of State
