It delves underneath the surface issues of a leader’s or manager’s knowledge and skills.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Leader's SEEcret\u003c\/i\u003e will help you discover, understand, and apply ten core features of one ancient principle. You will understand how to infuse the situations you face as a leader or manager with that timeless reality. And you will learn how you can inspire your staff to do so, too.\u003cbr\u003eAlong the way, \u003ci\u003eThe Leader's SEEcret\u003c\/i\u003e shows the failure and regret a leader causes when his or her current leadership priorities conflict with lifetime purposes.\u003cbr\u003eThis story comes in a concise, get-to-the-point writing style, making it very helpful for individual or group study.\u003cbr\u003eOne warning: The principle undergirding LeaderSlip is simple---but not necessarily easy. If you take the challenge, you will become a more effective leader and---perhaps even more crucial---you will protect yourself from eventual failure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tSkip Garmo is a cogent thinker and graceful writer whose insights will inform the way you lead for as long as you are blessed with that privilege. If \tyou're stuck in your ways and averse to change, enter this resource at your own risk. But if you can use a fresh treasure chest of ideas and inspiration, \tcome running. ~Jerry B. Jenkins, Novelist \u0026amp; Biographer; Owner, Christian Writers Guild \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tFinally---a book for leaders on the vital importance of Christian character---never more needed than today! While it is possible to repair a broken \tcharacter, the eyes of others will always be on the spot where the crack appeared. My friend, Skip Garmo, challenges us to get a \"grip\" and maintain strong \tcharacter so we can better enhance Christ's reputation in the world. ~Dan Busby, President, Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tUtilizing an almost \"too close to home\" parable, The Leader's Seecret reminds Christian leaders, through sound biblical principles, of real love (agape) \tand what it practically means to lead self, other, and community in the character of Christ. This is a \"must read\" for starting Christian leaders, and a \tdefinite read for those of us who need a seed of rejuvenation in our journey of Christian leadership. ~John Reynolds, Executive Vice President, Azusa \tPacific University; Chairman of the Board, Christian Leadership Alliance \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tThe SEEcret will surprise and delight you. It's short in length and long on wisdom, with a memorable \"that-could-have-been-me\" story, yet applicable to \talmost anyone. Read it once---and you'll sense God's nudge. Then do a deep dive, with colleagues, and it could be career-changing and life-changing. It's \tinsightful and will be a great help to ministry leaders. I wish I had understood this central theme 30 years ago. ~John Pearson, Board Governance \u0026amp; \tManagement Consultant, John Pearson , Associates, Inc.; Author, Mastering the Management Buckets \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tThe Leader's Seecret is a different kind of book. Its brevity and unique nomenclature capture attention. The point of the book is strong: More important to \tGod than doing \"great things\" for Him, is that Christian leaders be who He wants us to be. Thank you, Skip, for writing this book. ~ Bob Ricker, DMin, \tPresident (ret.), Baptist General Conference \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tThis book provides an insightful and thought provoking look at what it means to live in a Christlike manner with Christlike character. Based on his own \tmany years of leadership as a pastor, mission, and ministry leader, Dr. Garmo carefully leads the reader through a process of enhancing one's own \tleadership through careful analysis and asking the \"right\" questions. ~Jim Canning, PhD, Cofounder, Christian Leadership Alliance; CFO (ret.), World Vision \tInternational \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tHave you ever asked yourself, \"What is life all about and is there a plan for my life?\" The answer to that question is found in The Leader's Seecret by \tSkip Garmo.
