Leadership and Discipleship Books

The Integrated Leader

The Integrated Leader is an exercise in journaling and reflection, to take principles from the book of Nehemiah and to use those principles to bring leaders into a unified, integrated whole. This book is an explanation of the ten steps taken by Nehemiah to “integrate” his faith in the fulfillment of his calling, with application questions so that the reader might take similar steps to lead with integrity and to discern and fulfill one’s God-given calling.

Nehemiah was an integrated leader because he was an integrated thinker. He was one who had been taught to relate his activities to clearly defined ultimate goals and purposes. He had a clear sense of his calling and mission from God, and he was able to organize a large team to accomplish this great task. Readers will take these same ten steps — Concern, Communion with God, Commitment, Calendar and Clock, Capital, Coordinating Others, Commence, Crises, Completion, Celebration — to have greater clarity regarding their God-given calling, while integrating one’s faith in every area of one’s life. “Come, let us rebuild the walls…” (Nehemiah 2:17)
