Bureaucrats run institutions. Leaders lead people. You can make the difference. Leadership is a team sport. Do more than direct individuals—build a team. This treasure of tried-and-true principles will be your on-the-go source for the motivation and encouragement you need be the effective leader you were created to be.

Few leaders think of themselves as natural leaders, and all of them tend to fall into one of three groups: those whose leadership is taken for granted; budding leaders who are relatively untested on the job; and untrained leaders who, regardless of their job experience, have found themselves suddenly thrust into a leadership position and feel very insecure. The Five Secrets of an Exceptional Leader calms the fears and boosts the confidence of all untrained leaders and serves as a refresher course for seasoned leaders. Written as an engaging, down-to-earth dialogue, this book uses conversations between a young businessman and retired man who has led in church, business, and philanthropy. Their one-on-one dialogue reveals proven, common-sense leadership principles and instruction on how to lead holistically with your heart and soul. The result is leadership excellence.
