My wife and I enjoy watching the bluebirds take up residency in their little house on our fence. Four days ago, three eggs hatched. Now we are watching the male and female bluebirds continuously fly in and out of the house as they feed their young. It’s interesting to me how nature provides a plan and God’s simple creatures always understand the plan and follow it. Both bluebirds are obviously committed to the task of providing food, warmth and protection of the little ones in the nest. No need for a “bluebird leader” to watch and monitor the activities of the new parents or to remind them of their obligation to feed and protect their young. They do it because that’s their responsibility.
Imagine what it could be like if everyone within an organization took personal responsibility for understanding the company’s plan and followed it. Imagine if every member of the organization had a work ethic that ensured everyone did their job and met their obligations whether the leader was watching or not. Imagine if everyone in the organization had the same level of commitment as these beautiful bluebirds. Imagine.
