“Three-Dimensional Leadership: A Balanced Approach to Leadership Success” is the leadership perspective of the author born out of 24 years of military service and 18 years of ordained ministry. The call for better leaders transcends environment and organization and despite all the books, presentations and theories given, the call continues to go forth and to even get louder. “Three-Dimensional Leadership" answers this call by asserting the need for leaders to balance their focus between completing the task, managing the team and taking care of themselves. This balanced approach will assure leaders successfully handle the challenges inherent to each dimension of a leader's responsibilities and ultimately benefit the organization, the members of the team and the leader.
