Righteous Influence: What Every Leader Should Know about Drawing on the Powers of Heaven

Overview

Most of the work of the Lord is accomplished through relationships. Leaders exercise righteous influence and self-control by either stepping in to assist their brother and sisters or backing off out of respect for their God-given agency. This book discusses in detail the principles of righteousness and how a leader conforms his or her life to them in order to receive the powers of heaven. It shows how the powers of heaven are often manifested through the Holy Ghost — inspiration comes that directs leaders to do the right thing for the righteous reason. Learn how to lead more effectively in the Church and at home!
