Shrinking the Integrity Gap: Between What Leaders Preach and Live

When leaders live with integrity, everyone benefits. With a focus on healing past and present trauma, this motivational book for Christian leaders calls us to greater wholeness so the values we preach match the values we live.
 
Every good leader wants to serve more effectively. We especially want to align the values we preach with the values we live out. But we often sense a disconnect between our public and private selves—and we’re not sure what to do about it.
 
In Shrinking the Integrity Gap, Jeff and Terra Mattson draw on fascinating research, wisdom, and decades of leadership experience to give you a fresh and deeper perspective on how you lead. This call to greater wholeness in your life as a leader helps you:
 

• Understand how pain from your past influences your leadership today (and tomorrow)
• Close the gap between intentions and actions
• Better understand your unique wiring and impact on others
• Discover the joy of leading from authenticity and greater wholeness

 
A unique integration of biblical, clinical, and relational wisdom, Shrinking the Integrity Gap offers long-term, grace-filled solutions for optimizing your leadership and influence so you can finish your race well.
