CEO vs. Bottom Rung

Leading by example, but maybe it’s not always your actions that speak louder than your words.

I saw the CEO of a company moving tables and chairs. He was helping to change a room setup in between back-to-back meetings. I was impressed, even inspired. I’m at the bottom of the corporate rung today but that may not always be the case. I hope I’m always willing to help move the tables when there is a need.

He then said, “Moving tables is not in my job description!”

I’m still inspired, not by his actions but in spite of his words.
