A Simple & Enjoyable Read to get you Started
A nice, little investment to get you started in the discovery of your leadership potential:
Excavating the Soul
Buried inside each human soul are the treasures of talents, gifts, skills, feelings, desires, and potential, that our Creator God has lavishly deposited, for his glory.
But life's tragedy is this: many die without excavating their souls. They make our cemeteries more and more wealthy. They robbed the world and the rest of humanity of precious wealth.
Think about books, music, movies, presidents, doctors, innovators, lecturers, teachers, pastors, business consultants, coaches, and so on, that have died with those individuals that never took the time to develop and deliver their wealth.
So I challenge you today, to begin that journey of your soul's excavation.
Let me recommend John Maxwell's Developing the Leader Within You as a valuable tool for this excavation.
The 21 Laws of Leadership, Pt. 4: The Laws of Connection, Inner Circle, and Empowerment
- 10. The Law of Connection: Leaders Touch a Heart Before They Ask for a Hand.
- 11. The Law of The Inner Circle: A Leader's Potential Is Determined by Those Closest to Him.
- 12. The Law of Empowerment: Only Secure Leaders Give Power to Others.
"Follow them and people will follow you."
The Book that changed My Life
It's based on the Bible. I was barely out of my teens. I was in a two-year school. When I read "Becoming A Leader" (1st edition) by Dr. Myles Munroe, I immediately was inspired to become who the Creator had in mind for me. I couldn't settle for the mediocre. I had developed a discomfort for where I was and where I needed to be.
This discomfort compelled me to pursue a college degree and then a graduate degree.
I owe this pursuit for excellence and full realization of potential to "Becoming A Leader" by Dr. Myles Munroe.
You may have a similar journey.

"A great leader's courage to fulfill his vision comes from passion, not position."
- John Maxwell
"Each person is meant to fulfill his unique part in the whole, each being responsible for leadership in his sphere of assignment."
- Myles Munroe
"Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first among you must be the slave of everyone else. For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many." (Mark 10:43-45, NLT)
