Description
Specifications

All thoughtful leaders can admit experiences of ongoing incompetence—dilemmas, decisions, and even debacles that make them question how they became leaders in the first place.

When we look at St. Peter, however, we see a great leader who engaged with his weaknesses and knew his shortcomings. By following his example, we become better leaders in any arena.

Seminary president Peter Lillback’s profound treatment of more than 100 principles drawn from St. Peter helps you to think through your

management style
communication
decision-making
and more

Practical spiritual exercises put the lessons of each short chapter into action—bringing joy to our hearts, guidance to our lives, and help to our service.
