Summary
Vision and motivation to become the leader God intends you to be-- whether you're leading your family, church, coworkers, or a Fortune 500 company. You're a leader! In fact, every time you try to get someone to do something you want done, you're exercising leadership. This book will help you discover from Jesus how to lead more effectively as you understand the character traits and practical skills of a true leader. A discussion guide in the back of the book will help you integrate the principles into your life as you allow Jesus to help you learn how to cultivate and cast a vision, make wise decisions, build a team, harness opposing forces, facilitate innovation, and put others first.
