A book on Christian leadership published by Charisma House in 2001, subtitled Keys to Sharpen Your Effectiveness as a Leader, and reissued in 2003 as Sharpening Your Leading Edge: Moving from Methods to Mindset. Hayford asks leaders to move beyond methods to mindset, bringing the leader's heart and head into line with God's ways and will, and to release the gifts and skills they already have toward God's purpose for them. A chapter on men in leadership recalls being asked to sign a statement on biblical manhood and womanhood prepared by several dozen evangelical scholars and leaders.
