Book Review, by Ms. Latina Renee
"Before You Lead" is the fourth chapter presented in the Before You Do: Making Great Decisions That You Wont Regret book. I find this part of the book to be very helpful as the Bishop explains how you should be the CEO of Your Life. I heard a saying once before, "If you don't run your life, someone else will", and I refuse that to be my case.
The book goes on to talk about how the Earth is the Lord's. All I ever desire is to run my mines and mine only in stewardship. So yes, I concur with what this book reads about how leadership doesn't only applying to people in positions of power such as persidents, pastors, or corporate CEOs but it applies to you and how you lead your life.
The book gets into depth about Accomplishing Amid Conflict starting on page 68. I highly recommend giving the passage a serious read for tips on becoming a better leader in what you do.
Usually, your team members will be the people in your life. It will be up to you to decide the roles they will play when it concerns you and who will be apart of your inner most circle.
