Stewardship is the first and last
step of management. In the start it is given in the end it is taken away. In
between is its nature. It does not matter that it is the repair of an old shoe
or the trust of a life. Stewardship is in the character of the person not the
nature of the item. The principle of stewardship is the same; in much as in
little.
You can tell who will make a good
manager by his or her stewardship of themselves and their life. A young student
who makes a point of being neat, clean and well kempt is taking care of themselves.
A student who takes care of school books and takes care of things placed in
their care may not be the brightest student, but they will be reliable, consistent
and dependable. They will also inspire and win confidence and trust of others. People
study to apply the principles and functions of management; planning, organizing,
leading and controlling. Yet, stewardship is the mark of excellence that separates
the successful from success, responsible from response and trustworthy from trusted.
