Monday Morning Leadership – Mission Driven

A job without cause is a job without effect.

— Unknown —

You may have heard this story:

There were three workers sitting in front of a building that was under construction. The workers were cutting large pieces of rock with chisels and hammers. Someone approached them and asked them what they were doing. One worker said, “I’m cutting rock,” another worker said, “I’m working,” the third worker said, “I’m building a Cathedral.”

Part of our teammate orientation at the pharmacy included taking a trip to one of the nursing homes we serviced so the new employees could see the impact of their work.

This was a game changer for us. Suddenly our team went from being task-driven to being mission-driven. They went from having a job that required them to fill prescriptions to being a part of a mission which provided life enhancing medications to the most vulnerable of our population–the frail elderly.

People will work twice as hard for a cause than they will for a pay check.

Colossians 3:23, “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men,”

P.E.A.C.E.
