In my book Lead the Way God Made You, I wrote about my envy over my now supervisor’s leadership gifts and how I wasted time and energy not developing my own chops. Years removed, I’m over the jealousy thing, but am still in awe over how God wired Derek. I’ve learned more from Derek than any of the “leadership celebrities” that I’ve read or had the priviledge to meet. I’m proud to have him as a friend and grateful to have him as a supervisor who inuitively know how to push every button on my dashboard. He’s one of the primary reasons that I’m a lifer at Grace.
Derek recently entered the world of blogging and you can catch him at www.dereksanford.blogspot.com. Insights on family and leadership abound. Swing by and say “hello!”
