Great Leaders Build Up When leaders inspire their teams with a vision of what is possible, passion meets production ... and truly great things happen. As Associate Pastor at Lakewood Church in Houston - the largest and fastest-growing church in America- Craig Johnson oversees thousands of staff members, leaders and volunteers. From his unique perspective comes Lead Vertically, the essential handbook for every leader who wants to build teams that won't settle for a shallow view of success. These leaders know that meeting short-term goals is important, but they also recognize that teams grow and grow stronger when they have a big dream to fulfill. They understand that people can live with disappointment, but not without hope. Are you challenging your team (and yourself) to dream? Are you inspiring those who follow you? Lead Vertically shows you how to motivate your team by consistently and clearly communicating that the best days are ahead. Learn how to foster personal trust, not just professional confidence - even when you have to say no - and turn the tide of negativity with tools that are easily adaptable for teams of any size. Plus, find tips and exercises for recruiting, training and strengthening teams. It all starts with you . .. because building up -leading vertically- begins in the heart. In Lead Vertically, you will discover how a change of heart is the starting point for team transformation. You will find that when you build others, God will build you!
