The Top 10 Leadership Posts I Read The Week Of June 10th

Before getting to this week’s Top 10 list I want to make you aware of a couple items I feel passionate about.  One of the writers featured below is Pastor Terry Smith of the incredible The Life Christian Church in West Orange, NJ.  This church has been called the most racially and ethnically diverse church in America.  I had the privilege of speaking there earlier this year and would agree.  On July 18th and 19th they are hosting The Hospitable Leader Experience to share their secrets.  I will be there on the 19th and suggest you attend both days.  Click HERE or on the image provided to learn more and register.  I hope to see you there.  You will not be disappointed.

Also, every so often you will read a book that is truly special, a book which really impacts the way you view leadership.  I am currently reading such a book now.   I cannot recommend enough you purchase Covert Cows and Chick-fil-A: How Faith, Cows, and Chicken Built an Iconic Brand by Steve Robinson.  You can read my thoughts on the first chapter alone HERE or listed below.  Trust me, purchase this book today by clicking HERE.  This may well be the best book I’ve ever read on the healthy and appropriate intersection of Christianity and business.

The following are some posts from the previous week you may have missed.  I really enjoyed writing these and think they will help you become a much more equipped, knowledgable and better leader.
