This book presents a kingdom-first approach to leadership, encouraging leaders to view their work and influence as a divine calling to serve God and others. Through a narrative and practical framework, it challenges conventional leadership paradigms by rooting leadership in spiritual principles and selfless service.

Watch for
- — While implicitly Christian, some terminology might be more generalized to appeal to a broader audience, which could be perceived as slightly diluting the explicit Christian message by those seeking overt theological depth.
