THE POUND FOR POUND PRINCIPLE

How To Increase Your God-Given Capacity

If you’re an athlete, there’s always someone taller, stronger or faster. If you’re an entrepreneur, there’s always someone with a better idea. If you’re a pastor, there’s always someone with a bigger congregation. As pastor and author, Mike Kai, notes, the one thing that numbers cannot measure is potential. Writing with transparency and humor, Kai describes his own insecurities as a leader and how he discovered the power of working with the resources God gave him—something boxers call their pound-for-pound value.

“Whatever your talent level or motivation, what it boils down to,” Kai writes, “is what you do with what you’ve got—the size of your heart—that’s the pound-for-pound principle.” In this updated leader’s edition of The Pound for Pound Principle, Kai explores:

• Being content with what you have without becoming complacent
• Finding the right people to stand with you in your corner
• Learning and growing from discomfort and disappointment
• Creating a culture that brings out the best in you and in others
• Understanding the connection between stress and capacity

Leaders, whether seasoned or emerging, will find Kai’s insights challenging and be led to discover their pound-for-pound value and increase their God-given capacity.
