Every challenge, triumph, and moment of self-reflection has played a significant role in helping me to navigate different stages of leadership. Through these experiences, I have gained the insights and wisdom I hope to impart through this book. Most importantly, I thank God for His boundless love and infinite blessings. I am humbled by His presence and forever grateful for the opportunities He has provided me. I want to continue seeking His guidance and striving to use the wisdom and knowledge He has bestowed on me for the greater good.

Great leaders develop and strengthen the most important qualities that enable them to be effective and productive. The life of a leader is not an easy one, but I have found that it can be extremely rewarding. Leaders may reap many awards and accomplishments, but they can also touch the lives of many people in positive and lasting ways.
