The same is true of communicating with someone of a different communication style--we must change our approach if our message is to be understood.

By understanding your own style and that of your colleagues, clients, family members, and friends, you can tailor your approach and content to communicate your ideas more effectively, improving both your relationships with others and your professional success.

This is the first of a 2 Book release around ‘Leveraging Your Leadership Style’. This personal journey into your leadership characteristics is not about becoming someone else, or someone you admire, or want to be like. It is about recognizing your leadership qualities and to promote and further develop those qualities you already have in building your leadership style and overall brand. Great leaders are remembered for their achievements and are quickly forgiven for their mistakes. Focussing on developing your strengths and being aware of your weaknesses is key to developing a leadership brand that is enduring, endearing and successful. This compendium serves as a reference that explores, through a series of structured activities, a large range of Leadership Qualities (values and behaviours) and Leadership Styles to help you identify and shape your leadership identity to achieve your ultimate goals in life.
For people planting churches and/or pastors wanting to see real growth in their churches and communities, Jackson teaches the definition of a "high impact" church, why they are needed in every community in America, their key characteristics, and 11 steps to starting a high impact church.
