Lead Like Jesus | Heart, Head, Hands, & Habits

This 10-week course is designed to help the participant learn what is needed to develop the heart, head, hands, and habits of a great leader with Jesus as the model. The readings, videos, and other materials are designed to help the participant uncover what might be keeping them from realizing full leadership potential while helping develop those skills and habits needed to become a leader who leads like Jesus. Lead Like Jesus' definition of leadership says, "Anytime you influence the thinking, behavior or development of another person, you are engaging in leadership." So whether you are a stay-at-home parent, a teacher, a CEO, an administrative professional, an electrician, a nurse, a coach, or a church leader, you are influencing the lives of others, and that makes YOU a leader!
