This book is dedicated to the men who have developed me:
To Larry Maxwell, my brother, who encouraged in me the desire to grow mentally; To Glenn Leatherwood, my junior high Sunday school teacher, who inspired me to have a heart for God; To my high school basketball coach, Don Neff, who instilled in me the desire to win; To Elmer Towns, pastor and friend, who strengthened my desire to reach my potential; And above all, to my father, Melvin Maxwell, my lifelong mentor. I am a leader today because of the time you spent developing.
