Called to Lead is about Christian leadership. The author asserts that in as much as all must be followers, God has called and equipped every person to lead in some aspect of life. Some provide leadership, according to their distinct calling or placement at home, at school, in the community, in church, in business, politics, education, science, economics and more. Leadership is about bettering people's lives wherever your leadership vocation beckons, making a contribution, and leaving a legacy. Experience the hand of God in your life as a leader as he calls, transforms, prepares and challenges you to greater heights in your leadership vocation. While the book is written from a Christian perspective, it articulates broad based leadership praxis, and its principles are useful and applicable irrespective of one's occupation or station in life. As you are called, please lead!
