But the Western concept of leadership is all aboutstepping 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 Invitation to Lead he offers, with surprising transparency, lessons from his own rich experiences--both successes and failures. Many of us aren't surewhether 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\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions\u003c\/b\u003e 8.0 x 5.5 x 0.7 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cbutton class=\"button button1\"\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color:white;\"\u003eNEW Book\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/button\u003e\n  \u003cstyle\u003e\n.button1 {\n}\n.button1 {background-color: #04AA6D;} \/* Green *\/\n.button2 {background-color: #008CBA;} \/* Blue *\/\n.button3 {background-color: #f44336;} \/* Red *\/ \n\u003c\/style\u003e","brand":"CHRISTIAN STORE INDIA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47654119047330,"sku":"Invitation to Lead: - 520","price":850.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0441\/0599\/0306\/files\/71cPGoumkyL._SL1500.jpg?v=1789293385","url":"https:\/\/www.christianstoreindia.com\/products\/invitation-to-lead-guidance-for-emerging-asian-american-leaders","provider":"CHRISTIAN STORE INDIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
