Day 181 Honoring My Husband's Leadership Skills

Today was quite the interesting day for me.  My schedule was full as usual from start to finish, however it was also filled with an interesting learning.  This morning I accompanied my husband to rent court.  We have a tenant that has not paid their rent so we had to file a claim against her to begin the proceedings to have her removed from the premises.  I was absolutely astonished at how many people were in rent court to explain why they had not paid their rent. 

I was also very impressed with how connected Bryan is with those that run the system.  When we arrived in court all the seats were pretty much full so we stood in the back of the court room.  It was about 9:00 in the morning and I had to be somewhere by 10:00.  I could not see how in the world I was going to make it without leaving him and later returning to pick him up.  He had shared with me that he had connections and promised we would be in and out in no time.  I watched as he signaled the court clerk and as he promised we were called within 10 minutes of the proceedings starting.  I truly had to take pause and acknowledge his ability to build effective relationships.

My work is about teaching others how to be great leaders.  One of the concepts I teach is about being an Authentic Leader which includes the concept of building healthy effective relationships because it is the only way things get done.  Today I am honoring my husband's leadership skills.  I have seen him in action before but this took things to entirely new level for me.  I really understood his effectiveness.  I heard the court clerk mention that they had over 100 cases that morning and yet we were close to the last to arrive and one of the first three to leave.  Absolutely incredible is all I could say.  I was so proud of him in that moment.  I then began to think I should probably have him help me teach the concepts about building effective relationships and the benefits that they bring since he is a walking example.

Wives of the world in what ways can you or do you honor your husband's leadership skills?  How have you seen him in action that has demonstrated to you that he is a good leader?  Have you shared your thoughts with him?  If not, honor your husband today by letting him know how proud you are of his leadership skills in whatever area they show up for you.  Please share your stories with us; we would love to hear from you.

Blessings,
