Book Cover & Preview Text
I was visiting with my good friend Dave who owns an insurance agency in Florida. Dave is an active Christian businessman. I asked him one day, “Dave, to you think Jesus is a perfect leader?” He stated that he thought Jesus was, indeed, a perfect leader. I then asked him, “If Jesus came down and offered to be an active senior partner in your business, would you turn your company over to Him?” Dave answered immediately in the affirmative. I then, said, “Dave, to the best of my knowledge Jesus never made an insurance presentation, never calculated a needs analysis, sold a policy, or made a payroll. But I have done all of those things. As you can see, I have more experience and skills in insurance sales than Jesus. Would you turn your business over to me?” Dave’s answer to me was a resounding “no” as fast as he had said “yes” to Jesus. The point here is that skills and experience, as valuable as they are, are not what makes a person a leader. In this example, Jesus, who has NO skills or experience in the insurance business would still, nonetheless, be a perfect leader, even a Million Point Leader. Why? Because of the values He embodies. And that is what we will explore in this book…not specific leadership techniques, but values and beliefs that will draw people to follow you. Once you have developed and enlarged those characteristics in yourself…the “6 C’s of Leadership”…you will have begun your onward march to leadership greatness.

About the Book
Go to any bookstore and browse through the books on leadership and you will find thousands of definitions of a leader. One will say that leaders face adversity with fortitude; another will say that a great leader conducts effective and productive meetings; another will say that leaders have virtue, ambition, or imagination. But you and I have seen people in leadership positions who are incredibly smart, others who manage meetings with great finesse, and others who have mastered important skills, but yet cannot command a following. We have also seen people who have none of those traits and yet have tremendous supporters. So what is it that makes a leader a leader? This book will reveal that secret.
About the Author
Who Is Terry Johnson? Terry is remarkable simply for his un-remarkability. He never went to an Ivy League university, but he did attend his local state college long enough to graduate. He was never a CEO of a major company, but he did serve as a team leader several times. He was even appointed as a supervisor for a few years. He was never the owner of a Fortune 500 company, but he did buy and operate a restaurant when he was nineteen years old. Where most people collect stamps for a hobby or go bowling for recreation or do something similar, Terry studies people and tries to discern why some succeed and others don’t. The result of that study is his book, The Million-Point Leader. Terry is married to the former Pamela Call. They have three children and six grandchildren … so far. Terry co-authored a book with his wife chronicling their experiences with the suicide of their first child, as well as a book of short humorous stories about their adventures when they left the Rocky Mountains and moved to the Central Plains. Neither book is formally published. Copies are made and given as gifts to family, friends, and those who may need an occasional shoulder to cry on or a laugh to lift their spirits.
