360’ Global Kingdom Leadership: Drawing Global Leadership Wisdom from the Ancients and the Marketplace

By Ulf Spears DSL

360’ Global Kingdom Leadership is a must read for every emerging entrepreneur, innovator, creative thinker and corporate culture shifter. This book is a training manual for global kingdom leaders who are in need of a diversity of skills in order to be effective on multiple plains of career and life. This book is divided into two parts: 1) global kingdom leadership principles are gleaned from ancient texts (using Dr. Vernon K. Robbins socio-rhetorical criticism as a tool to explore the texture of texts), 2) from marketplace themes and topics. Each section in this book is filled with key global strategies, concepts and practical application principles that are meant to shape, empower and catapult leaders from where they are to where they want to be. Finally, 360’ Global Kingdom Leadership is a fresh look at leadership and is a reference guide of enduring principles that will last from generation to generation.
