Synopsis

Do you feel too overwhelmed to enjoy life, unable to sort out the demands on your time?

 

Are you doing your best work as a leader, yet not making an impact?

 

Have you ever felt stuck, powerless to change your environment?

 

In The Emotionally Healthy Leader, bestselling author Peter Scazzero shows leaders how to develop a deep, inner life with Christ, examining its profound implications for surviving stress, planning and decision making, building teams, creating healthy culture, influencing others, and much more.

 

Going beyond simply offering a quick fix or new technique, The Emotionally Healthy Leader gets to the core, beneath-the-surface issues of uniquely Christian leadership. This book is more than a book you will read; it is a resource you will come back to over and over again.
