Today I interviewed a friend of mine, an astounding religion professor at BYU, on different aspects of leadership. He has been such a great example to me over the last few years because of his genuine concern for others and positive attitude towards life. Brother Hank Smith is someone that I have learned loads from and I feel honored to even know him. He has taught me about the
importance that literally every person holds.
Because of his incredible sincerity and friendship,
I was able to see my own worth and realize how much my Heavenly Father loves me; something that has made an immense difference in my life.
As I interviewed him today my respect only grew. Brother Smith is the perfect example of someone who lives the principle of Divine Centered Leadership. He sees that his leadership role as a father is the most important position he holds. He is always showing concern for the one who needs it, no matter who they are, as I have been blessed to witness first hand. I admire him so much because he has a way of letting everyone know that they are important, and investing fully in the people he meets. To top it all off, because of Brother Smith’s humility, he has a way of making the people he leads want to be more like the Savior and create a stronger relationship with Him. To me that is the true sign of Divine Centered Leadership: someone whose main goal in leadership is helping others come unto Christ.
Because I know Brother Smith, I now strive to be a better
listener, friend, teacher, and all around good leader.
