Publisher's Description
▼▲--Dan T. Cathy, Chairman and CEO at Chick-fil-A, Inc.
Preston Poore has spent decades in corporate America. Despite all the excellent advice he was given for growing in leadership, there was something missing: a way to bring his Christian beliefs to bear in his professional life, not just his personal life. So Preston sought his own answer to how his faith could impact his management of hundreds of employees.
What he discovered was this: the first step wasn't adjusting his leadership style. Instead, he needed to let God change him before he could effect real change in his workplace. And in order to model discipleship to his team, he needed to first be discipled by the Spirit. Here, in the day-to-day practice of being a disciple of Jesus Christ, Poore found where his faith and exceptional leadership intersect.
Through personal stories, biblical principles, and hands-on workplace guidance, Poore offers readers a unique look at this seldom-discussed connection. He challenges struggling leaders to engage in the hard work of daily discipleship. And he charges experienced leaders to return to the fundamentals of their faith, encouraging them to disciple other Christians with leadership potential.
For anyone wrestling with how to bring faith to the workplace, whether it be a cubicle or a boardroom, Discipled Leader reveals that leadership doesn't begin behind the desk--it begins in the soul.

Odds are you will find counsel for your own situation in Discipled Leader." -- Dean Crowe, founder and CEO of Rally Foundation for Childhood Cancer Research
"Discipled Leader provides practical tools, tips, and action points for living out the basic Christian disciplines. Prestons personal stories are moving and lead the reader to see how applying these principles makes a difference. This resource is useful for new believers or someone who has followed Christ for years.

"Whatever leadership is, it isnt easy. Business leaders face the daily challenges of ambiguity, uncertainty, risk, conflict, and much more. In Discipled Leader, Preston Poore shows how Christian values and beliefs can guide leaders to do the right things, which in secular commerce may be called governance, stewardship, equality, engagement, and empowerment. In truth, these are all entirely congruent with the Christian faith, and being a discipled leader ensures unparalleled and infectious strength, faith, and courage. The undeniable connection between discipleship and effective leadership in modern-day business is beautifully highlighted in this mustread book." -- Stephen Gibson, managing director and chartered business psychologist at Gibson Hallmark Ltd.
"There is no command to make converts in Scripture! There is a command to make disciples. However, that command is ignored, watered down, redefined, and disobeyed. Preston Poore not only lays out the biblical mandate in a very real manner but also makes it practical. I especially like that Discipled Leader is geared for small groups where encouragement and accountability can and should exist. Read this book and join in the excitement of becoming like Jesus. Pass it forward." -- Dr Hal Hadden, founder of Christian Leadership Concepts
