A Journey Toward Surrender is a memoir describing how my view of leadership has evolved over fifty years. Its a story in understanding a different and more freeing meaning of surrender. From leading teams in government, business, and the non-profit world, I have developed an outlook that works. The biggest challenge in leading comes down to one key necessitymanaging the ego. If we could relinquish our ego investment, the world would be a better and much more effective place. I argue that there is a dynamic continuum or tension between responsibility and surrender that evolves throughout life and that to live well within this continuum, one must realize that God is in control of the outcome. In the end, I contend that without a change of heart, policy reforms are futile. Without a deep assessment of ones moral character, our actions will be based on what Scripture refers to as shifting sands.
