5 Gallons to Victory: Entrepreneurship Through Leadership Development: Faith Integrated Edition (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798248784424)

What does it take to build a winning organization?

In 5 Gallons to Victory: Entrepreneurship Through Leadership Development - Faith-Integrated Edition, Rev. Dr. Christopher Joel Zebert offers a practical, group-centered approach to leadership that moves beyond individual success and focuses on shared victory.

Using a powerful racing metaphor, Zebert introduces five essential "gallons" every leader must develop to keep their organization running at full capacity:

- Creating an atmosphere where different leadership styles flourish
- Resolving conflict without derailing the mission
- Building strong, sustainable teams
- Designing organizations with wise structure and stewardship
- Training people for long-term growth and success

Whether you lead a business, church, nonprofit, or community organization, this framework equips you to think intentionally about culture, planning, policy, and people development.

This Faith-Integrated Edition adds a clearly marked optional layer for readers who want to explore leadership through a biblical and Wesleyan lens. Scripture reflections, practical applications, and insights from John Wesley help leaders see their work not only as management-but as formation. The core leadership model stands on its own, while the faith components deepen the journey for those who desire it.

Drawing from experience in public service, community development, pastoral ministry, and organizational leadership, Zebert blends practical strategy with personal reflection in a voice that is direct, accessible, and grounded in real-world application.

This is not a book about lone heroes.

It is a book about teams.
It is a book about structure.
It is a book about shared purpose.
It is a book about finishing well.

Leadership works best when the tank is full.

A full tank.
A shared journey.
A victory that lasts.
