Book Cover & Preview Text
Choose a purpose that will get you out of bed before the alarm sounds, and get you busy working on it from the moment your feet hit the floor. Choose a purpose that you can remain committed to through years of attempting to acquire the needed authority or even decades of struggle to accomplish a small portion of the vision. Simple purposes that include only you and your immediate needs will not carry you through to the end. Think big and broad. Be circumspect and include everyone in your purpose. Then pause . . . wait . . . don’t commit until you have to. Give yourself all the time you need to be sure that failure in the attempt to live this purpose is good enough.

About the Book
Michael A. Woods has been digging into core precepts that define leadership for the past thirty years.
As a young man in the Navy, he was perplexed by the random distribution of leadership talent. Sailors lined up to follow some leaders, while others with the same rank could not motivate a crew of subordinates to sweep a deck.
While teaching lessons on Biblically based leadership, the author discovered the story of David and Goliath, recognized many leadership core concepts demonstrated in David’s actions, and began writing this book to answer questions such as:
• How do leaders gain the authority to create change?
• What team motivational strategies are most effective?
• How does a leader make more workable decisions faster than the average person?
• How can risk be managed?
Disciplined application of the precepts found in this book builds a framework to support success. Learn how to become a better leader in your personal and professional life with the lessons in One Giant, One Stone.
