In today’s world there is an enormous need for healthy mature leaders. Why? Because most people have not been taught real leadership thinking skills. Sure, they may have completed a course or attended a class, but were not taught healthy, mature thinking characteristics possessed by great leaders.
The book you hold in your hand is significantly different from the majority of leadership books you may have read.
- First, it is based on the life of Christ, His thinking; He is ultimate leader! As we learn to let Christ lead through us, we can become great leaders too.
- Second, it is based on working with thousands of people and leaders. Some of these are inspiring leaders and some aspiring leadership apprentices. No matter where you fall on the leadership spectrum, this book can be a game changer!
- Third, it works! The concepts taught in this book aren’t just based loosely on Scripture. They are actually found in in the lives of Biblical characters as well as in the principles of Scripture. There are so many books and assessments that can tell you some interesting things about yourself, but I LEAD goes much further, identifying your specific areas of Christlikeness as well as areas of needed growth. Even more, it gives you a fool-proof plan for how to implement what you learn and see exponential change in hours! Yes, hours, if you apply yourself!
This book is your journey into understanding how root source thinking drives all our lives… our habits, communication, behaviors and ultimately our outcomes. Good news? Yes, we can be transformed by the renewing our mind (thinking), giving us greater ability to fulfill God’s calling to serve Him and others!
