Book: I've Got Your Back: Biblical Principles for Leading and Following Well

If Jesus wrote a book about leadership today, he would tell a story. That's what the Jim Galvin decided when he tore up his first draft. 
Instead, Jim wrote a parable about four twenty-somethings who are having major problems with bad bosses. 
Jack Hendrickson, a retired Army Special Forces Sergeant and former missionary, begins to teach them Biblical principles about leadership and when they put it into practice at work, it makes their lives worse!  Experienced leaders are calling I've Got Your Back a landmark book to help next generation leaders with a Biblical foundation for leadership. Many talented young people have been victims of follower abuse. They don't want anything to do with leadership positions. Some have issues with authority and need guidance to heal. Galvin writes about a new kind of leader the world is desperate to follow. At the end of the parable, the author outlines Biblical principles of followership, as well as leadership, because everybody needs to learn how to lead and follow well.
