Jill Briscoe’s book, Jonah and the Worm, is a quick read with a powerful connection to leadership.

God’s purpose is not always understood at first. There will be times we do not understand God’s purpose until we have completed His will.

Whoever does God’s will is great in His eyes, even though they may be small. Leaders should never overlook the influence of anyone regardless of their size or contribution.

It is not the length, but the power of the message that changes lives. Jonah’s message was five words and changed an entire city. The lesson? Think before speaking.

We need to constantly learn how to improve our leadership.
