Who Will I Serve?

This is the thirteenth post in a continuing series designed to help you create a great 2008 - using questions to reflect on last year, and project into the future. All of the questions and additional information can be found in this tool, available for you to download now.

The thirteenth question is:

Who will I serve more effectively and/or completely?

Why else are we here, in the end, but to serve others?

Whether you think about this through a business lens, thinking about customers, through a leadership lens, thinking of those you lead, through a personal lens, considering family and friends, or from any other perspective, this is a valuable question.

This is a question that can point you in the direction of greater meaning in your life.

Enough commentary (though there is much more I could say) and on with my answers.

I plan to serve:

- my wife, children and family more completely.
- my colleagues and team more intentionally.
- my Clients and Customers more effectively.
- my community and world more actively.

This isn't the place, in my case, to elaborate, but as you answer this question for yourself, you will want to think about the details. In fact, even if you are thinking about this question for the next month, quarter, or year, I encourage you to decide how you will answer the question today.

this question as much as any of them will help you be more engaged with your world. Why not start today?

After a total of 27 posts on this project, I'm not quite done. After a big day tomorrow (make sure you check out the announcement here), I'll be back later this week to wrap up this whole series and let you know what is next. Thanks for reading - whether this is the first post or you have read the full list.
