This title is the second in the series "The Diamond Soul Character", and deals with leadership issues from a Christian perspective. It follows the first title, "Five Stepping Stones to a Super-effective Character,” which develops the Diamond Soul character's concept based on Christ's main character strengths.

This second volume, "Seven Principles for Super-effective Leadership: creative strategies and tactics to become the best Christian boss," is a leadership book. It provides a proven framework for developing practical leadership abilities by ordinary people. It offers competent advice on self-improvement, personal growth, and how to achieve your purpose in the context of living a Christian life. This is not an academic textbook for MBA business schools or training professional managers and leaders. No, this book is to be used by the millions of ordinary people who do acts of admirable leadership daily and want to improve their leadership aptitudes. This book, therefore, addresses the needs of aspiring leaders of this country.

If you are working as a pastor, teacher, or technician, this book is for you. This text is for you if you are a healthcare worker, first responder, or National Guard member. Equally so, if you are a stay-home mom, teenager, or grandfather, this volume is for you. Everyone interested in dealing with and leading others will find a wealth of information that can significantly assist them. I will highlight the two essential skills you need to master: how to communicate better and cooperate creatively to achieve your purpose.

I wrote this book to honor the unsung leaders of this great country. Of course, I am referring to you, the millions of ordinary Americans who do acts of authentic leadership every day, some even without knowing it. You are the silent heroes who work quietly, invisibly, and without applause. But you are as indispensable to this nation as the sun is to the earth. You do your jobs beyond the call of duty; you add that extra touch to your work every day. You carry out your responsibilities with dedication and passion, well above what's written in the job description. You are the role models for all to see and replicate.

This volume defines the seven principles encapsulating the essence of leadership: a moral character based on faith, a substantial competency in the science of leadership, a mindset of achieving your purpose by service, and the all-important skillsets of communication and cooperation. It also outlines leadership strategies and practical tactics to be used along the way. Therefore, it is a step-by-step instruction manual that will educate, guide, and inspire you to become the best boss you can be. Its principles apply equally to believers, atheists, agnostics, and people of other faiths.

Dear reader, studying this material should be just the beginning of your long journey to become a better leader. I encourage you to take classes, courses, and seminars to reveal the beauty and uncover the mystery of the art of leadership. Continue to study the Word of God, mainly as it describes the leadership traits of Jesus Christ, the most excellent servant leader of all times. He is your perfect role model to follow. Share your newly found knowledge and competencies with others in your family, work, church, and neighborhood. Help others become servant leaders; mentor, coach, and inspire them.
