This course is designed to help participants 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 participants uncover what might be holding them back from realizing their full leadership potential, while also developing the skills and habits needed to become a leader who leads like Jesus.
