THE LEADING DEACON 23 LEAD BY EXAMPLE Remember that you are always serving as a representative of your organization. What kind of example would you like to set? How can you ensure that your behavior reflects the mission and values of your team? 24 DON'T PUNISH FAILURE 25 ENCOURAGE HAPPINESS In fact, celebrate it. Failure is a critical part of our learning process, and it's sometimes how we learn best. Take each failure you may encounter as a learning opportunity. What could you improve on for next time? Above all, you want your organization to foster enjoyable experiences. Look for ways to seek out beauty in the world. Live in the moment, try new things, and be kind. These are the keys to success!
