the best follower

Currently, I'm an assistant coach for my 5yr olds T-ball team. Although I have been the head coach before, my goal now is to be the best assistant coach in the league. I will do whatever I'm asked to do by the head coach. My job is to make him and our team look good. Right now my responsibilities are mainly keeping the bench (full of 5yr olds) in order and getting them ready to bat. I really feel that to be a good leader, you have to be a great follower. You reap what you sow and no matter what leadership position you are in, there is always someone above you that you are called to serve. In some cases it may only be God. Another thought is that the higher you move up in leadership, the greater the servant you are called to be.
