I want to express my thanks and appreciation to my wife, Sue. She is truly my inspiration and once again provided the support and encouragement for me to complete this book. She willingly sacrificed spending many of my days off with me so that I could write, joining me instead for a cup of coffee at my makeshift office at our local Barnes and Noble.

About Leading from the Inside Out: The Art of Self-LeadershipToo many stories have been told of successful leaders who fail in their private lives and consequently neutralize their vocational achievements. Leadership expert Sam Rima believes the time has come for leaders to exercise the same skill and degree of leadership in their personal lives as they do in their organizations. Despite strong advances in organizational leadership, a key growth area is still lacking for many: self-leadership. Addressing this evident need, Rima offers practical implementation of essential leadership principles and discusses the emotional, intellectual, physical, and spiritual aspects of self-leadership. Pastors, church leaders, and all Christians who serve in positions of leadership or authority will benefit from Rima’s insights. Leading from the Inside Out is also a useful tool for leadership classes, as well as church boards and denominational leaders who want to help those they oversee prevent personal failures. The book includes a study guide and a Self-Leadership Workshop at the end of each chapter. |
