We are often taught not to put ourselves forward--not to stick out. But the Western concept of leadership is all about stepping up and standing apart from the group. Is that appropriate for Asian Americans? Or can we lead out of our own cultural strengths rather than being pressed into the Western mold? Paul Tokunaga has been a leader in Asian American, white and multiethnic contexts for many years. He has been active in ministry and in his community. In \u003ci\u003eInvitation to Lead\u003c\/i\u003e he offers, with surprising transparency, lessons from his own rich experiences--both successes and failures. Many of us aren't sure whether we can or should lead. We are waiting for someone to ask. Or we are just beginning to take on new roles and responsibilities at church, at work or in our neighborhoods. Here, at last, is our invitation to lead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Tokunaga\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 083082393X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780830823932\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e IVP\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/10\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.24h x 5.56w x 0.62d","brand":"Paul Tokunaga","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44128571523327,"sku":"9780830823932","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0e025190-a9ef-4230-964c-02a1124594fb.jpg?v=1687459346","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/invitation-to-lead-paul-tokunaga-9780830823932","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
