I often feel like a freak in the Kingdom. It's not because I don't fit in, or because I don't have great friends and connections in the ministry. Rather, it's because I'm continually provoked by the possibilities to change the world through various ministries, projects and endeavors-and that results in a lot of action, shifting, trial and error that takes many beyond their comfort zones. As a visionary, my heart is to provoke and awaken a generation to the greatness of God, and I am seeking any and every vehicle I can find, or invent, to get that message out there. God is looking for people to blaze a new trail-people who won't delay and who won't wait for others to affirm them with a vigorous thumb's up. He is seeking people, like Paul, who have the confidence to run the race and call people to follow them as they follow Christ.

We compartmentalize our lives. Our home and spiritual life with our families and friends are separated from our work life as if the two have no business co-mingling. The problem is, the tenets that guide us have a place throughout our life no matter where we are. We can no more leave them at home and be ourselves as we could leave behind our eyes and expect to see where we are going. To justify this outlook we say, "Business is business," as if it is above any and all other parts of our life. The truth is, we need our spiritual life there just as much as we need it at home. Focused on effective leadership while maintaining Christian values, author Myrna J. Pittman's actionable guide is an honest, humble account of how to use God's word to live and prosper in your business life. But this is not merely a Christian guide. No-this handbook offers learning tools and advice that are applicable regardless of your personal faith or religious beliefs. From simple things like holding others accountable and treating them as you wish to be treated to rising above office politics and their inherent limitations, Pittman delivers sound, practical advice that transcends labels as she covers such topics as: the importance of getting to know your people, leading by example, refusing to compromise yourself, and setting clear expectations. Stories, examples, and outcomes allow you to compare and contrast your own choices that in turn give you the power to improve your performance-and your life. Based on thirty-two years of experience in leadership positions using the Bible as her guide, Pittman demonstrates that though the work place is full of challenges, if we put God first he will show us how to master them. Inspiring all to become better leaders for our future and better people for our mutual happiness and fulfillment, How To Lead in the Workplace With Godly Principles is a must-have on the shelf of every executive or aspiring executive regardless of denomination or belief.
