The Healthy Leader: A Guide to Empowering Character in Ministry & Marketplace Leaders

This book will guide you on a journey of self-reflection. It was created to help you identify your character strengths and weaknesses and to motivate you to create a plan of action to empower the leader within you and enhance your personal performance. Developing your character unlocks the leader within you and stabilize your gifts. Sometimes we place people where we think they should go. But the role of leadership is guiding them where they are destined to be. If we concentrate on developing our character first, leadership second, then our gift, we would see far greater results. During the character-building process, you will discover the leader inside you first. During that stage, your gifts are revealed. Many of us become so excited about the talents that we move out and walk in them before fully maturing in all stages. Your gifts are only the vehicles used to transport you into your purpose, which is your final destination. When a person doesnt submit to the character-building process, it causes them to rely on a weak gift. A person with a weak gift becomes a weak leader, and a weak leader will bring disaster to their team. Healthy leaders submit to the maturing process. They rely on their strengths and perfect their weaknesses. They are problem solvers who ultimately become change agents. The greatest problem solvers are those who are curious enoughto search for the solution.
