Judge Griffith

1. Judge Griffith spoke about the importance of remembering the "least" among us.  Describe how you can apply this concept in your leadership role today in BYUSA.  Also, describe how you intend to apply this focus on the "least" in the future as you serve in leadership roles.

I really think this is key in serving as a leader, emphasis on serving. As we strive to focus on the "least" of these our impact and strength as a leader and a group will have that much more of an impact. It bring to mind, "By small and simple things are great things brought to pass."

2. Judge Griffith talked about how we learn what God wants us to learn from listening to those who speak to us through talks, lessons and home teaching. Please describe how it is possible to learn from those who might night have the same level of education.  Identify and describe a time in your life when you have learned from an individual with a differing educaitonal background.

I absolutely loved this. It completely changed my experience and perspective in church last Sunday. I focusing on what was being said and listening to the Spirit I learned far more than I ever could have. Fellow students were able to teach and edify me because I was willing to listen. I had and open mind realizing that they had so much to give. I have had so many experiences where those with a differing educational background were able to teach me. I have especially seen this in my younger siblings. They are such great examples to me not just in word but in deed as well. It could be easy to say that I have more experience and knowledge but as I listen to their advice and follow their examples I improve so much and in turn help them.

3. Please describe something you learned about leadership from Judge Griffith's presentation.

I thought it was such a moving lecture. The largest lesson I took from it was motive. Leadership and your success as a leader largely depend on what motivates you. If your drive is money and recognition you are in it for the wrong reason and you will not be happy or as successful. But as your focus becomes Christ-centered you will be able to better serve and impact those you interact with for the better.
