The Heart of Leadership
Leaders be warned: “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” (Proverbs: 4:23).
We live in an emotionally-charged world that negatively influences almost everything we: think, say, and do!
Leaders can easily crumble under the weight of negative thoughts, words, and actions — which often impacts mindset, character, and habits.
The answer is a seismic and positive: LeaderShift of the Heart™.
