Lead or Be Led: A Guide for Intentional Living

Picture yourself in the bookstore looking at a title in the Self-Help or Management section which states triumphantly "8 MILLION COPIES SOLD." You would probably be impressed.But what if you read "8 MILLION COPIES SOLD (but only 3 lives changed)?" Your reaction would be less enthusiastic. In fact, this is often the case. We do a seminar. We read a book. When we're finished, we say, "GREAT! That's really good stuff!" Then we go home and return to our daily lives. By next Wednesday, we are operating exactly the same way as before. How does this happen? Why do we not change our day-to-day lives to reflect the material that so impressed us?Lead or Be Led is not a how-to guide to living your life, but rather a road map that offers SPECIFIC IMPLEMENTATION TOOLS that will help you manage the details of your life as a means to achieving your goals.
