  • A Leader Others Want to Follow. My next book is tentatively titled “Be a Leader Others Will Want to Follow”. Over the years, I worked with many talented individuals, some of whom wanted to move into a formal leadership position. In addition, I mentored several emerging leaders. I would often tell them that I wanted them to be a leader that others would want to follow. The book will discuss 35 leadership attributes that are important for those who want to be a leader others will want to follow, as well as some applications of those attributes.

My Summer Reading Plans

Summer is a wonderful time for reading, whether it is on the backyard patio, a family vacation, or listening to an audiobook while driving, walking or running. This summer, I plan to read books in a variety of genres – biography, leadership, theology, Christian living, etc.
