The Measure of Character

Being a great leader is far more than just focusing on achieving great results. Character-based leaders are winning the battle for the soul of their organizations. With daily vigilance, you can communicate your organization’s values, focus on your mission, stay on strategy, be the eyes you see, and build community.

With God’s help, you can lead your team toward achieving great results by using these concepts to measure and mold its character, one day at a time.

Our generation is praying that God will equip you for this task.

Is your organization’s stated mission compelling enough to motivate followers to serve that mission sacrificially?
