Leadership

True Christian leadership is a skill that is developed, not a trait that you're born with or a title that is given. Whether you're a young professional learning on the job or a seasoned leader with years of experience, these resources offer wisdom for CEO's, pastors, and anyone who wants to grow in their career and widen their influence.
