Eddie Arthur describes himself as an agitator and mission thinker, He has been involved with mission for several decades, notably with Wycliffe Bible Translators.
I asked Eddie to tell me the most important thing he had learned about leadership and how he learned it.

Eddie went on to add this second lesson:
If you are a leader, how would you answer the question? What has been your most significant leadership learning?
