I’m excited to announce that my book A Leader Worth Following: 40 Key Attributes and Applications to Master is available now on Amazon in paperback and Kindle editions. The book is free on Kindle Unlimited and available in the Kindle Owners’ Lending Library.
In this book, I bring my unique perspective from various leadership roles over nearly 38 years at a Fortune 50 organization and nearly 30 years in a local church to look at 40 key leadership attributes or characteristics. If you can master these key leadership attributes, you will be a leader that others will want to follow. You become a leader from the inside out. Not by emphasizing skills, abilities and experience, but the heart.

Go to this page in the Amazon Kindle Store to view a free sample of the book and/or purchase it. If you read the book, please let me know what you think of it. Thank you!

Here are a few excerpts from the book’s endorsements:

This book would be an excellent read for any new leader or leader seeking to hone and improve their leadership skills.
Jim Bell, M.S. Education

Anyone who picks up this book will find it encouraging, challenging, and empowering to help you be a leader worth following.
Joe Calio, Campus Outreach Staff Member

This little book on leadership has a wealth of time and experience and wisdom behind it. If you give this book your time, I think you will be blessed like I have been by the man and his wisdom as they come through in his writing.
Justin Coverstone, Pastor, Grace Fellowship Church (PCA)

I was privileged to report to Bill during a portion of my career. He was a true servant leader who excelled in his career and exemplified these leadership attributes on a daily basis. You won’t want to miss this opportunity to enhance your leadership skills.
Kellie Gualazzi, Retired Technical Analyst from a Fortune 50 organization

Bill’s leadership experience and examples and observations show years of lessons which can be applied to anyone seeking career advancement. I highly recommend this book to someone beginning a leadership journey, as well as someone who has a long career.
Jason M. Halm, Technology Analyst

Bill has been an exceptional leader. His mentoring has been from the heart and has provided excellent input when a person needs help to move forward. His servant leadership style has been shown both inside and outside the workplace.
Karen Meister, Retired Director from a Fortune 50 organization

Bill Pence is a faithful elder at our church and a leader in our congregation.  He and his wife Tammy have served and set an example of servant leadership for many years.  In this book he offers very accessible nuggets of leadership wisdom that he has gleaned over the years.
Pastor Brad Lucht, Christ Church, PCA in Normal, IL

I have the opportunity to serve alongside Bill as we seek to mentor future pastors. I appreciate Bill’s passion for raising up leaders, coming alongside them with encouragement and wisdom from his years of experience.
Pastor Stephen Lawrence, Exodus Church, PCA Springfield, IL

I think this book can be read cover-to-cover as a training tool for new leaders (or reminder for others).  But I also think it’s valuable as a reference work where you can re-read sections that apply to what you’re facing today.
Al Williams, Leadership roles in Bell Labs and other companies (semi-retired)

Bill Pence always does a great job of blending personal and practical leadership. I’ve found that other books often rely fully on relational management or tactical management, but his focus is on providing the tools that create effective leadership. More than anything else he simplifies complicated principles so that they’re easily digested and implemented.
Drew Williams, CEO, Allied Outdoor Solutions

I recommend reading a chapter a day. By the time you get to the end, if you’re anything like me, you’ll need all of the first reminders again.
Mark Alan Williams, PhD, MFA, Entrepreneur, executive, and Pushcart-nominated poet
