What are your roles? Here are mine:

  • Follower of Jesus
  • Family man (husband, father, and now father-in-law, grandfather...)
  • Friend (more than an acquaintance)
  • Learner (know more in order to do more)
  • Leader (engage deeply or not engage at all)
  • Teacher/Communicator
  • Innovator, Instigator, Agitator
  • Visionary (believe what I see and act on it; boldly believe)
  • Competitor/Athlete
  • Giver/Philanthropist

Goals are lined up with values and also with roles.

5 Ways to Define Your Roles

  1. Clarify and prioritize your roles.
  2. Live out your roles appropriately (roles should fit into your positions that you hold).
  3. Claim lost roles.
  4. Let go of some labels that you've allowed to settle in as roles.
  5. Be prepared to make changes to operate in your roles (pruning decisions; rarely about adding but typically about subtracting).
