Why this book
Where are the leaders?
Perhaps the most significant problem in the world today is the absence of true biblical leadership. The heart of a leader is found in the person who cares about investing in the lives of others over their own personal gain.
Great leadership is a gift that, when given, influences every area of our lives. While leadership doesn’t always come naturally, everyone has the ability to become a leader worth following.
Endorsements
What leaders are saying.
I’ve been involved in leading creative teams for decades, and few leaders have ever considered the art of leadership as a “gift.” Andrew Burchfield has done us a great favor and opened a new door on the subject of leading and inspiring people. No matter what your title, if no one is following you, then you’re not a leader. Get this book. Study it. And become the leader people need. Better yet, become the leader people want to follow.
