I felt like this was just another book to throw on the pile when it comes to all the books about how we are supposed to be leading. The only twist is that it has a Christian viewpoint to it. I really wanted to like this book since I run my own business and am a mother (yes, being a parent is leadership also) but, it felt oddly familiar. It was like having leadership book deja vu.
I am going to do something that I have never done with any book review before and include the summary from the back cover of the book. Maybe this book will be a valuable resource to someone else but, it was far from it for me.
