Leadership is one of the most important areas that a Kids Ministry Leader can focus on. Good teams rise and fall on leadership. I think leaders should always be learning when it comes to leadership and I have put together a list of my top 10 leadership books.
These books have helped shape the Kids Ministry Leader that I am today.

There are many YouTube videos, blog posts, websites, audiobooks and books on leadership.
