Qualities that make an APEX Leader

There are some great leaders and people who share leadership ideas in the ministry world. Brian Dodd is one of them. Brian is the Director of New Ministry Relationships for Injoy Stewardship Solutions where they help leaderchurches fully-fund their mission and vision. But that, as he says, is his “day job”.

I met Brian through reThink and the Orange Conference (we both blog for them). Brian has a fantastic blog called “Brian Dodd on Leadership“. He helps people be ministry be the leader they can be and grow in that leadership position. And, he has a NEW book out on 10 enduring principles of APEX leaders. It’s called “Timeless” (if you order from the link you can save 25% and get FREE shipping).

In this episode we talk about the book and cover 2 of the 10 principles and how they have played out in his life.
