whose got your back

"I'VE GOT YOUR BACK..." Some recent lingo that seems to have applicability here in the leadership world as well. How,well thanks for asking! Think about the meaning of it?

Having your back is about someone that is close, trustworthy, dependable, reliable, etc Kind of like a leader ought to be for his/her people! No matter what people/the team mess up, their leader is there to
...stand up for, maybe take the hit for,
...create a Freedom to Fail culture,
..there when the delegated project struggles,
...there when others come messing with his/her people

- you get it right?

Sounds like a nice goal for a leader to become just that, a GOT YOUR BACK LEADER; and to create that mindset among his/her team, in their relations with each other.

Makes me think of our relationship with our Creator, our Lord, our God - that comfort, peace and knowledge HE is there all the time anytime - HE has our back if we ask Him to be there.

Just thinking...
