Light on Leadership

Happy Thanksgiving Week!

In partnership with

Enjoy our Thanksgiving Special Edition! This week, we’re bringing back a few favorite passages from past newsletters, along with two football-themed leadership videos—because Thanksgiving and football just seem to go together. We hope these quick, energizing pieces give you something enjoyable and meaningful to reflect on during the break.

Who Eats Last?

We’ve all heard the phrase, “Leaders eat last.” This powerful three-word message captures the very essence of leadership. It symbolizes the priority of serving others before serving oneself.

Think about the most effective and impactful leaders in your life. They likely demonstrated different skills, strengths, and experiences. Some may have been outgoing and charismatic, while others were more analytical and reserved in their approach. Yet despite their differences, they all shared one common trait: a dedication to helping others.

This selfless commitment is what sets true leaders apart. Remember—the common thread among all effective leaders is a sincere commitment to serving others before themselves.

What Are Your Priorities?

We have control over our attitude, our responses to others, how we use our time each day, and where we dedicate our energy and attention. But how often do we truly remember this? Are we guilty of letting our daily habits and routines control us instead of the other way around?

What would you do differently if you could reorganize your life tomorrow?

As a leader, your most valuable resources are yourself, your time, your energy, and your family. Does your daily schedule reflect those priorities?

“Whatever you do in life, surround yourself with smart people who’ll argue with you.”

– John Wooden

“Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence."

- Helen Keller
