Check out this quote from "Quiet Strength" by Tony Dungy. Coach Dungy led the Indianapolis Colts to win the Super Bowl after the 2006 season and I have to admit that I knew very little about him before reading his book. He really is a Godly man and his leadership style is Christ-like. So check out this quote from the end of his book:
"That's what this is all about. Touching lives. Building a legacy--not necessarily on the field but in those places that most people will never see. Trying to be faithful in the position God has given me. I love coaching football, and winning a Super Bowl was a goal I've had for a long time. But it has never been my purpose in life. My purpose in life is simply to glorify God. We have to be careful that we don't let the pursuit of our life's goals, no matter how important they seem, cause us to lose sight of our purpose."
"I coach football. But the good I can do to glorify God along the way is my real purpose. I want to help people see the path to eternal life through Christ, to enjoy an abundant life now, and to fulfill their God-given purposes here."
