Most of today s heroes are the result of high profile media attention. Whether they like or not, they are role models, who project a positive or negative influence on millions of people. To me, heroes are people who make a positive impact on the lives of the people around them. In New Testament times and today, the ultimate role model is Jesus Christ. His value system, character and steadfastness toward the goal were a pattern we can follow in our everyday workplace.
Today there is a shortage of real heroes and an abundance of negative role models.
The values and character of Jesus is not the standard of today. Compare today s heroes in the world of sports, entertainment, politics and business with their counterparts of yesteryear. I believe you ll notice a significant difference in the quality of character and the overall value system of genuine heroes. The lack of everyday heroes has also taken its toll on the business world. We are in drastic need of heroes in the workplace.
