A short YouTube interview clip (host Donald Burns) in which a guest describes how Christian faith (trusting God and His path) enhances leadership. The speaker explains that faith helps them manage stress, maintain integrity, trust that God will place supportive people around them, and accept lack of control over others’ actions.
I know you and I are very similar in the sense that we're both Christianity based as far as our faith. How do you see that being Christian based or just any kind of faith based? How do you feel that adds to your ability to be a better leader?
Well, I think the big thing comes into is he's taught me how to really just trust in the path that he's put me on. I've always been told I handle stress things real well. I just had this overall belief that, you know, he's working through me. So as long as I'm doing the stuff I'm supposed to do, as long as, you know I'm doing the right thing and I'm keeping my integrity and I'm doing that stuff correctly, everything else will just work out. And he'll put people in my life that'll help the things that I'm not good at or the things I'm struggling with. Somebody will come along with, help me support that his way. And I can't really control the things that are other people or other things. So I got to just allow him to do what he does and work through me.
If your restaurant only works because you work 80 hours a week, it doesn't work.
