How you prepare determines how you will lead and serve.
BZ Inspires and demands extraordinary effort which requires an attitude of humility, clarity of purpose, and exceptional discipline.
Our world is ever changing; thus, it is vital you have a foundation that will not change. A biblical worldview answers who you are, whose you are, why you exist, and what is expected of you (Romans 12).
Leadership is the ability to steward one’s God-given gifts, abilities, and opportunities. Many are willing to serve but the BZ Ethos inspires you to seek to serve.
The BZ Ethos demands that you respect the dignity of every human life because we are all created in the image of God (Genesis 1 & 2). Dignity is love and it requires hard work grounded in truth.
Attitude: The foundation of BZ Ethos. It provides focus and perspective. You may not be able to control situations, but you can control your attitude.
Clarity: Clarity must be sought, provided, and ensured. It requires mutual responsibility and personal accountability and it provides direction. True clarity is the result of an attitude of humility.
Discipline: Discipline is the result of an attitude of humility and clarity of purpose. It provides you with the opportunity to practice having a biblical worldview, demonstrating leadership, and showing dignity to others.
Entremanureship is the work before the work. It is the deep, behind the scenes work that needs to be done before the public work. It produces creativity and growth. It is necessary but often overlooked. It will have an effect on the individual, the individual’s role, and the team.
Awareness is the basic head knowledge of the facts, processes, or procedures. Buy-in is the head and heart knowledge that requires you to accept the facts, processes, or procedures. The final level is ownership which requires you to take personal responsibility for the facts, processes, or procedures.
WHO: Your personal identity, your story. The who is the team’s identity and differentiates the team from other teams.

WHAT: Your expectations and your personal preparation. The team’s what describes the team’s expectations.
HOW: Your performance. The team’s how is how the team performs and serves.

All three of these areas are vital and must work together to provide an exceptional and holistic customer experience. The first element is the people who are doing the serving – your team – and the people you are seeking to serve. The second element is place. The place is powerful and it must communicate the Desired Customer Outcomes. The process is not seen by the external customer but it is seen by the internal customer. The process must communicate the values of the team as well as seek to know, educate, and serve the customer.
