One out of three leaders don’t finish well in the work that they undertake. Striking, isn’t it? As our podcast celebrates 300 episodes of engaging global nonprofit leaders, we strive to be that minority that stay the course God gave us and there’s no one better to talk to than today’s guest. Making his record sixth interview on the show, we’re joined by Hope International CEO Peter Greer who sits down with Brandon Stiver and Phil Darke to discuss his new book, How Leaders Lose Their Way. For whatever area that God has called you to lead in ministry, humanitarian work or even within your own family, this is a conversation for you!
