Interviewing A Hero

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.
