True North: Living and Leading On Purpose - Donald Paul Wilder

\n \nIn June of 2017, I embarked on the journey of a deep look into myself, my goals, my life mission and penned what would eventually become my personal mission statement which is: I will lead people who matter to do things that matter. The purpose of me writing this book is to share the most important principles of leadership that I have discovered and organized into presentations utilized throughout my leadership journey as a teacher, administrator, church leader, husband, father, and friend. I believe that each person's leadership begins within, leading oneself. We must lead ourselves well in order to be fit to lead others. True North on a compass is found at zero and three hundred sixty degrees. True North serves as a metaphor for the guiding principles of life that should lead us as we lead others. As we live and seek to lead others in their lives, we need to set a bearing that is true and live on purpose with principles as our guide. Purposeful living requires purposeful learning. I hope this book provides an easy way to grasp major concepts and principles of leadership that will help you on your journey of living and leading on purpose. \n \n \n\n \nLeadership is a popular topic within our culture today; however, there is so much based on an author's personality, experiences, and area of operation. Is there a set of principles that are sufficient to guide one to know that his/her leadership is heading in the right direction? True North is a metaphor to represent such an idea. Living and leading on purpose requires that we discover core principles and intentionally apply them in our lives on a daily basis as we lead ourselves well. May this book inspire the heart of a champion in you and cause you to live life loud. \n \n \n\n \n \n\n
