One Impulse Every Leader Must Avoid

Time and time again leaders feel (almost) overwhelmingly compelled to do this.

It is a mistake.

If you want a ministry that advances Christ’s kingdom, avoid this emotional trap.

Dr. Rich Halcombe

If you are a leader or someone who wants to become a leader, my life mission is to help you achieve kingdom results, personally & organizationally.
