Providing long-term solutions rooted in grace, they explore the following: ·The symptoms and systemic impact of the integrity gap ·How a leader’s unresolved story impacts their influence ·Ways to overcome the loneliness and effects of leadership ·Healthy leadership habits for wholehearted leadershipIntegrating biblical truth, clinical research, relational wisdom, and real stories, Shrinking the Integrity Gapequips readers to become the kind of leader anyone would want to follow.
