Leadership Strategy: Take care of No. 1

Bob Ringer wrote a controversial book a few decades ago.
The critics panned it. The liberals damned it.
But "Looking Out for No. 1" was largely misunderstood.
Ringer’s thesis: You have to look out for yourself first.
On a flight, you’re advised to put on your oxygen mask first.
Then you can help your children to put on theirs.
Leaders know they have to take care of themselves first.
Then they can take care of their families and their people.
Our friend Larry Timbs just came through a double bypass.
He’s recovering but has not been able to return to teaching.
Larry reports he’s working on his diet. No fatty foods.
Skim milk, grape juice, carrots, salads, fat free dressing.
Oatmeal, fat-free yogurt, walnuts, baked chicken, grilled fish.
No more milkshakes, hamburgers, freedom fries.
Everyone, he says, should eat like this.
I suggest that you try the American Heart Association Cookbook.
More than 400 pages of tasty, heart-healthy recipes.
You can Google "heart-healthy recipes" for even more.
The point: You don’t have to give up taste to eat healthy.
How do you feel about what you are doing with your life?
Do you wish you could develop better health habits?
We’ll help you make hard and better choices in your life.
