‘How do I lead well?’ / ‘Where do I start?’ / ‘Who can help me?’
Every day, God is placing the next generation of leaders in the church and the marketplace. If you’re one of these new leaders and you’re asking these kinds of questions…then you’re asking the right ones.
If you’re ready for some answers – then this book is for you.
In Primed To Lead, Chris Warszawski offers biblical principles, practical habits, and effective strategies that will encourage and equip you to be a better leader, sooner. Chris shares from his own beginnings of leadership, including challenges he has faced and lessons he has learned from over a decade of leading teams in different ministries and churches.
He’ll bring you behind the curtain to hear from experienced Christian leaders, from both the ministry and the marketplace, as they share honest perspectives, real stories, and practical wisdom for new leaders today.
