Summary

Every leader values integrity, but far too few live it out. The founders of Living Wholehearted, Jeff and Terra Mattson, find that most high-capacity leaders have experienced childhood trauma and use leadership as a way to cope.
 
In Shrinking the Integrity Gap, the Mattsons remind readers that integrity is a way of being and not a one-time event. Providing long-term solutions rooted in grace, they explore the following:
  • The symptoms and systemic impact of the integrity gap
  • How a leader’s unresolved story impacts their influence
  • Ways to overcome the loneliness and effects of leadership
  • Healthy leadership habits for wholehearted leadership
Integrating biblical truth, clinical research, relational wisdom, and real stories, Shrinking the Integrity Gap equips readers to become the kind of leader anyone would want to follow.
 

Author Biography

As a licensed counselor, Terra is the author of Courageous: Being Daughters Rooted in Grace. They are raising two daughters in the countryside outside Portland, Oregon.
