Be prepared to learn what it takes to be the leader you are called to be.
The Invisible Medal is the realization that the success we enable in others is greater than any personal accolade. Invisible medals will be earned if we focus on
people and relationships
, view
life as a stewardship
, and recognize that
everyone has potential

Becoming a servant leader is more than simply fulfilling the needs of others. Successful leaders look inward to identify their foundational
purpose
and
values
. They reflect on their life's
crucibles
and understand the
leadership philosophy
born from those challenges. When leadership dilemmas emerge, the best leaders can weather the storm because their principles have been built on solid ground.
