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 organizations values, focus on mission, stay on strategy, be the eyes that on one sees, and build community.

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

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

Is the stated mission of your organization compelling enough to motivate followers to serve that mission sacrificially?
