ESSENTIAL LEADERSHIP RESOURCES
Here at Propel Women, we believe leadership is not limited to a title. Women everywhere are leading in a variety of ways—by service, by example, and sometimes by position. Your unique leadership gifting may be intrinsic or cultivated, conventional or non-conventional, seen or unseen. Wherever you lead, we want you to be equipped to use your talents and passions to help build the kingdom of God.
This list of leadership resources—articles, books, podcasts, and Youversion reading plans—has been curated to help you develop your leadership capacity.
