Dr Nick Hawkes has experience in three key areas which qualify him to write this book. 1) He has been the regional manager of a multi-national chemical company who led his division to record sales within one year. 2) He has developed and led a youth development program in the Western Suburbs of Adelaide -- in an area where it was said it couldn't be done. His work was recognised in being awarded a Telecom Advance Australia medal in 1986. 3) Dr Hawkes developed a leadership course for the Australian College of Theology, a national network of seventeen theological colleges. He has also lectured in a number of colleges.
