Speakers often use the words vision , boldness , and influence to describe the characteristics of effective leaders. Perry Noble, in The Most Excellent Way to Lead , makes the case that the heart of great leadership lies elsewhere.

Perry, despite “winning” the label “least likely to succeed” in high school, beat the odds against him. Today, he inspires thirty-five thousand people every weekend to live for something greater than themselves. He credits this achievement to the leadership principles he has learned from the Bible.

Surprisingly, the essence of leadership that produces genuine growth is buried in a Bible chapter often read at weddings. In this groundbreaking book, Perry walks us through that leadership chapter, describing the fifteen qualities of an inspirational leader.

Whether you are an entrepreneur or a new parent, this book will encourage you to see every opportunity in life as a chance to lead in the “most excellent way.”

Feel free to use this presentation for ministry leadership training.
