More Santas this Christmas
published: Sunday | December 10, 2006

The Editor, Sir:

There are three kinds of people in this world. There are 'Santas', 'Elfs' and 'Kids'. Santas are the providers, people who provide service and leadership. Their efforts are made of legend and are universal, and natured by hard work.

Elfs are the team players, the helpers and persons who give support to a leadership vision and are thus leaders in their own right. Kids are the consumers, the ones to be served.

Some people are more than one, some people move from being one role to the other. All roles however depend on each other; without elfs there is no support for the santas, without kids there is no purpose for the santas or the elfs.

As we approach this Christmas season, I challenge Jamaicans to think of this simple analogy and find a way to be a leader and a team player towards the vision of Jamaica, or the vision of your workplace or your school. Let's all move together into the new year with a united spirit of service whoever we are.

I am etc.,

MARK PIKE
