Spirit of Leadership

during the inception, development, and delivery of this work was a tremendous source of motivation and encour agement. You’re a writer’s dream and a gift to the literary arts. To Bob Whitaker Jr., for your encouragement with this project. You are an asset to the world of publishing. To the members and followers of BFMI who allowed me the privilege to develop, share, and test the ideas and principles in this book in our relationship over the past twenty-five years. Without you, my vision would have remained just a dream. I am forever grateful. I also wish to thank the many special friends who encouraged me in this special project, including Willie and Denise Johnson, Her Excellency Dame Ivy Dumont, Governor-General of The Commonwealth of The Islands of The Bahamas, Dr. Lucile Richardson, Dr. Jerry Horner, and my beloved dad, Matthias Munroe. Finally, I acknowledge and thank the ultimate Leader of all leaders, who himself established the standard for all true leaders to measure up to. I am forever indebted and grateful to you for your eternal gift of life and for ignit ing within me the spirit of leadership.
