Jesus on Leadership
When US Airways Flight 1549, or “The Miracle on the Hudson” ditched into the Hudson River on January 15, 2009, Dave Sanderson knew he was exactly where he was supposed to be.
The last passenger off the back of the plane on that fateful day, he was largely responsible for the well-being and safety of others, risking his own life in frigid water to help other passengers off the plane.
Dave has been in leadership roles in all aspects of his life; business, family and church. One of those roles was head of security for noted speaker, Anthony Robbins. Tony taught Dave that “success leaves clues” and to seek out resources that have obtained the goal you want to achieve so you can “compress the decades of their learnings into your days of execution.” One of the areas Dave is passionate about is personal leadership. He started to seek out leaders in all aspects of life and found that one of the ways these leaders became the leaders they have become is by solving BIG problems. He realized that one of the best problem solvers in history was Jesus.
In this presentation, “Jesus on Leadership”, Dave shows the simple and key strategies that Jesus and all leaders use to solve BIG problems to become a leader in any aspect of their life!
