Where the River Sings: The General Store, Leadership.

Where the River Sings: Leadership Lessons invites readers to lean back in a weathered rocker and listen. The porch of an old general store beside the Singing River became a classroom long before formal lectures and glossy slide decks. Old-timers swapped stories in gentle rhythms. My father heard them first, and in time I heard them from him. Each tale carried a country saying and a principle that guided shrimp-boat crews, families at supper, and eventually teams in hotels and boardrooms.

The book offers fifty-two weekly lessons drawn from that porch. Every week opens with a familiar Southern saying, unfolds a vignette by the river, and closes with a practice readers can apply between Monday and Sunday. Read a chapter, set the pages aside, and live the guidance. Return a week later for another hum of wisdom.

Leadership often hides in plain sight, whispered rather than proclaimed. Sit awhile, let the river sing, and discover guidance steady enough for every season of a leader's year.
