Excellence in Leadership: Reaching Goals with Prayer, Courage and Determination

• Short deadlines
• Not enough staff
• Tight budgets
• Personal attacks
• External opposition
• Internal conflicts
• A huge task

Every leader faces these problems. But as Christians, should we solve them by using the secular strategies of best-selling management books? Or is there another way?John White says there is. Nehemiah provides the model we need for excellence in leadership. From the way he overcame obstacles, we find practical solutions for surmounting the problems we encounter. From the way he achieved his goals, we learn how to accomplish the work God has called us to. With the wisdom and biblical insight John White is known for, he shows how to be action-oriented and prayer-oriented, a firm leader and a servant, a realist and a visionary.This book confronts the crises facing leaders today. Here White inspires and guides us in our task. A book for present and future leaders.
