Clarity of Purpose
William Booth, the British Methodist preacher and founder of the Salvation Army was sent a telegram that asked him to explain what the Salvation Army was all about.
His responded with a one word telegram: others.
As you see the familiar Salvation Army bell-ringers this holiday season, I hope you’ll be reminded of the power of the clarity of purpose.
Mark,
Love that story. So simple. So dead on. For all the babbling leaders do, it’s nice to see someone exercise the power of brevity.
