Loyalty and Leadership

Above all, I believe being an entrepreneur to me means being true to myself and being true to what I believe. Loyalty is, of course, a great character trait to have. What we are loyal to may also tell us what we really see as important in our lives. If I am loyal to God, people will know it, because I will live the way he wants me to live. I will be devoted to honoring him, pleasing him, and sacrifice things for him. The same can be said for our families, spouses, friends, and even our jobs. When we become loyal to the wrong things is where we can get in trouble. Petty things like TV, material things, etc. are examples of where my loyalty should NOT lie.
In order to be a leader, I need to convince people to be loyal to me, but not that they would be devoted to me. They would be devoting their time and energy towards the company, and I hope towards good values. Leadership is an important role, because people will be looking up to me as an example. Not that I want the attention, but I do want to be a good example and show people there is a better way to do things.
