THE OUTTOP
It’s Personal Book Review At the Outtop, we believe that effective positive leadership is not just behind the ivory doors of a corporation. It needs to be in our everyday lives, places where we take refuge from the unfathomable going ons in our world today. Places such as a church, a Sunday school room, a classroom, or, more importantly, a home. It is because of this, that we bring you books we believe address these areas and help to overcome these stressful times. We are all in this together! Let’s make a difference!
