    About this ebook

    BY A LEADER FOR LEADERS - These devotions were forged, tested, and found true through the lives of the leaders served by this author. These devotions are written for smart, hard-working, no-nonsense workplace leaders who are looking for something solid to help you improve your leadership. If you are looking for a devotional to simply warm your heart or cram more Scripture between your ears, find another book. If you are eager to close the gap between the leader you are and the leader God created you to be, humble enough to recognize that you could use some help, and willing to try a proven approach, invest a few minutes each week with this book pondering the intersection of your life and leadership and God s Word. We think you ll be glad you did.

      Called to Lead is dedicated to the workplace leaders who have trusted me to serve them and learn from

      them through the ministry of Priority Insight for the last twelve years. Without these faithful, trusting, sometimes

      trying men and women, I may have missed many of the principles shared in this book.

      Called to Lead is also dedicated to my family,

      Jo, Erin, Wesley, and Jeff. Your love, patience, respect,

      encouragement, successes and trials have taught me rich lessons about life, faith, and leadership. My most

      important leadership role is serving you.

      Thank you.
