Seven Steps To Elevating, Effective Leadership

John Maxwell says that “everything rises and falls on leadership.” Author and leader Rex Tonkins believes this to be true in the past, present, and future. Micah 6:8 says, “What does the Lord require of you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?” Leaders’ decisions affect many people, so it is critical that leaders go to the Bible for guidance and allow the Word of God to be the final authority for all their decisions. With so many causalities in leadership today, Tonkins wants to be transparent about his life and offer seven key principles of inspection, protection, and accountability.

Rex Tonkins (BA, Lenoir Rhyne University; MA, University of Pheonix) grew up in North Carolina and married Vickie Tonkins. Together they spent three decades leading youth ministry and evangelism across the United States. As a practical leader, Rex brings wise experience and transparency that helps enhance his effectiveness as a leader. It was only by the grace and mercy of God that he completed an incredible journey from illiteracy as an adolescent to an author three books as an adult.
