True leadership starts with character, not a title. When leaders live and lead with integrity, everyone in their wake benefits. When they lack integrity, everyone in their wake pays … it’s just a matter of time.
With a focus on processing past and present trauma and the practical tools to heal, Shrinking the Integrity Gap is a call to greater wholeness in a leader’s life so the values they preach more closely match the values they live. Every leader values integrity, but far too few live it out. The founders of Living Wholehearted, Jeff and Terra Mattson, find that most high-capacity leaders have experienced childhood trauma and use leadership as a way to cope.
In Shrinking the Integrity Gap, the Mattsons remind readers that integrity is a way of being and not a one-time event. Providing long term solutions rooted in grace, they explore the following:
• The symptoms and systemic impact of the integrity gap
• How a leader’s unresolved story impacts their influence
• Ways to overcome the loneliness and effects of leadership
• Healthy leadership habits for wholehearted leadership
Integrating biblical truth, clinical research, relational wisdom, and real stories, Shrinking the Integrity Gap equips readers to become the kind of leader anyone would want to follow
