While this book uses the words leader and leadership, it isn't written only for those with a title or a position. Everyone has a sphere of influence, and because of that, we all are leaders. Being a leader simply means that you have the ability to influence those around you. We all fit into that category.
If you have children, you are a leader every single day as they watch you and learn from you. If you are a wife, you are a leader in the sense that you influence your husband's decisions (whether he admits it or not). If you are a friend to anyone, you are a leader. As Christians, everyday we have the opportunity through our words and actions to either lead others closer to Christ or farther away from Him.
I have learned many things by being friends with an amazing woman of God. While she is in an official leadership position, I have learned more from her by watching how she lives her life than I ever could by listening to her preach from behind a pulpit (although I do love hearing her preach). Some lessons are learned not by hearing someone tell you what you should do, but by watching them walk it out; and ladies, others are watching how we walk!!
So, whether you have a position and title or not, I am GLAD you are here!!!
