BIO: Meet Chris McClure

Why This Message Is Important

We Desperately Need More High-Quality Leaders

Let’s face it. Our world is a mess in so many ways. Corruption, division, social inequality, seem to be ever-growing. In many ways, it feels like we’re going backward and refusing to learn the lessons from the past. John C. Maxwell has shared for years that “everything rises and falls on leadership.” If this is true (and I believe it is), then we need to become and develop better leaders who can guide us out of the messes that we’re navigating these days.

Strong Leadership Character Is Vital For A Hopeful Future

We’ve seen evil, corrupt leaders throughout history be successful for a season while acting as tyrants, but those leaders never lasted. They caused the problems that we’ve had to address throughout the centuries. The only leaders that truly stand the test of time are those who have strong character. The men and women who say “enough is enough!” and are willing to fight injustice, corruption, and evil are the ones who truly attract high-quality people to their teams and do their part to improve society.

People Need To Understand That Anyone Can Learn To Be A Transformational Leader

Too many people believe they aren’t leaders or never will be, but the fact is that anyone can become a leader with intentional effort. Personal growth and leadership development are keys to becoming leaders people love to follow. Even if you only lead one person, you are a leader. You may not be a leader in the workplace, but you can be a leader in your family or community. Leadership is needed in all seven spheres of influence—religion, family, education, government, media, entertainment, and business.
