From Owner to Steward
Treat everything like it's yours. Leave it better than you found it.
George's reframe for leaders is stewardship: everything you "own" is entrusted, not possessed. He learned the posture from his dad, who'd say, "Treat it like it's yours." George adds: "Even if it's a rental car, even if it's someone else's problem. Leave it better." He applies it to relationships, resources, health and the business itself. For faith-driven leaders, it's the move from ownership to stewardship. For anyone, it's a lighter way to carry the weight of leading. It comes from his teaching at The Spiritual Side of Leadership.
Who should be in the room
Business owners, executives and faith-driven leaders who carry payroll and feel the weight of everyone depending on them.
