Your TURKEY is the quiet leader of your Thanksgiving dinner 🦃.
Be grateful if you LEAD like a turkey.
Sure, its supporting team is second to none -- and when you connect with them, you probably feel relaxed and satiated.
But, it's your Turkey that displays such amazing overall LEADERSHIP.
No, not by just laying there while everyone else does the work. 😕
Your turkey is an influential leader -- the steady anchor that all the others hope brings out the best in them.
Now, it's not just the Turkey that gobbles up all of the attention. Turkey leadership is a TEAM effort.
The Turkey's closest and most supportive ally is the STUFFING.
The two of them in tandem can impress and satisfy other powerful leaders -- even cause them to talk about them for days.
And then of course the rest of the leadership team -- the Cranberry Sauce, Green Beans, and Mashed Potatoes.
You probably have others joining the group on your Thanksgiving table -- like maybe special guests Pumpkin and Pecan Pies.
These Thanksgiving dinner leaders then all come together with the group's secret sauce -- the thick, hot gravy.
It's your Turkey that can bring out the best in everyone (everything?) else.
Of course, as with most stories of leadership -- there's the behind-the-scenes journey of how your Turkey ended up such a delicious leader.
Turkeys are raised on the farm in ways that prepare them for the ultimate leadership sacrifice -- a PEAK PERFORMANCE outcome -- despite their own demise.
Connecting with your Turkey will probably bring you feelings of calmness, wellbeing and contentment.
(That's probably the TRYPTOPHAN -- the amino acid in turkey that releases serotonin and turns it into melatonin, which relaxes you.)
You can be inspired by your Turkey because of its versatility and resilience.
Your Turkey didn't follow the same path as other turkeys.
Turkeys also have a wide variety of personalities. And whether it's you or your family or friends -- whoever escorts your Turkey can add their own "flavor" to the experience, too.
The big day wouldn't be the same, though, without your Turkey 🦃
Sure the Stuffing and other team members may still bring some satisfaction, but without the leadership of your Turkey -- the gathering just won't be the same.
How do you lead like a TURKEY?
So GRATEFUL for your support and looking forward to making 2023 the best year ever!
