I'm currently reading a book by Blair Singer entitled, The ABC's of Building A Business Team That Works. As VP of Operations of Cogun, Inc. I am helping to coach teams to be successful. One concept I thought was helpful in the life of a people helper is captured in the following quote from the book:
"Every family and every marriage goes through trying times. The code or the rules keep them united. Otherwise kids go off and make their own decisions, which may not be in their best interest. Spouses can get distracted or stressed, and under pressure they may say and do things that they regret later. The code is the set of agreements and rules that force you to be the person that you agreed you wanted to be in a sane and logical moment."
What's your code of honor for your family? For you marriage? If you don't have one, perhaps today is a good day to sit everyone down and hammer out how you will communicate with each other. Here are 5 rules between Singer and his wife which he shares in his book:
Communicate daily no matter where I am in the world (Singer travels a lot)
Stick with all disagreements until they are resolved
Study together
Keep your agreements
Commit to personal development and education
Having a code is not a bad idea. It may just help you Serve Strong!
