Remember Who You Are in Everything You Do
Stewarding Leaders
Remember who you are in everything you do. Don’t lose yourself in the chaos of the moment or let circumstances pull you away from your true purpose. Stay focused on your objectives and continue moving forward. It’s essential to ask questions and ensure everyone involved has a clear understanding so that success is shared by all.
When you're working, distractions and complications can easily arise that threaten your progress. This is when you need to pause and reassess your priorities.
Don’t allow frustration to set in by trying to handle everything at once. In stewarding, the majority of the work happens on the floor—so that’s where your focus should be.
Yes, there are meetings, paperwork, and other responsibilities, but never forget that those you support will value your real-time presence in the operation above all else.
I’m not suggesting you neglect meetings or administrative duties, but I am advising you to evaluate your priorities. Handle the immediate tasks at hand, follow up on what can wait, and communicate the importance of these needs to all involved. This prevents misunderstandings and potential conflicts.
Remember, as a steward, you are the caretaker, the difference-maker. People look to you for relief from stress, disorganization, and challenges. That’s how crucial your role is. It can be frustrating when blame is pointed in your direction, but as a steward, you must rise above their emotions and perceptions of what you should or shouldn’t be doing.
Handle your responsibilities, stay diligent, and trust that everything else will fall into place. Be alert, be courageous, and don’t shy away from making decisions. Keep pushing forward, remain inspired, and never let defeat have the final word. You are the stewarding manager—stay motivated, stay strong.
