Doug Strickel shares, “Whether you are a Jesus follower or not, The Greatest Leader Ever will provide you with timeless leadership concepts that will help you grow in your influence and impact on others. This book will take you through some very action-oriented concepts that you can implement as part of your leadership development plan.

If you are a Christian business leader seeking to align your leadership growth plan with those displayed by Jesus, this book will provide you with that pathway.
If you are just seeking a proven leadership approach and not concerned about the biblical foundation, this book provides that as well.

We are living in a culture where leadership is lacking in many areas. We have people in positions who lack authentic leadership. We have people seeking power and control but lacking service and sacrifice. We have people wanting to be in charge but not taking care of those in their charge.

My purpose and passion is to let my light shine by sharing my thoughts, experiences, and learnings with you so that you will impact others. Together, we can change the work environment, our governmental agencies, and our communities through the power of authentic leadership.

The concepts shared in this book will equip you to be a leader worthy of following!”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Doug Strickel’s new book is a powerful tool for leaders at any stage, blending practical strategies with the ultimate example of servant leadership modeled by Jesus Christ.
