In the book, Dr. Joseph W. Walker, III, pastor of the largest African-American megachurch in Tennessee, addresses all the execution tactics a leader needs in:                                                                                                                         

• Building a team
• Laying out a vision for the team
• Creating and cultivating a “No Opportunity Wasted” organizational culture
• Shedding people who are not catching “the cadence” of your corporate rhythm

In 1992, 24-year old Walker became the youngest pastor ever at Nashville’s historic Mt. Zion Baptist Church, whose membership had dwindled to 175 congregants. Bishop Walker had a vision for growth and relevance. Under his leadership, the church grew quickly, gaining around 2,000 members every year. The Church now consists of a congregation over 33,000 people.  Dr. Walker not only leads Mt. Zion Baptist Church but also reaches a worldwide audience through online TV as well as multiple TV networks across the USA.  In addition, Dr. Walker is the chairman of the board of Tennessee State University, and serves on the Board of Directors for the American Red Cross, Citizen Bank, and Meharry Medical College. 

Dr. Walker writes, “The world needs not only your ‘what’ but your ‘how’—your know-how. Your vision means nothing if it is out in some theoretical space but never comes down to the real world of practicality and implementation.”

Praised by a wide range of well-known spiritual leaders and entertainers, including T. D. Jakes, Devon Franklin, Rickey Smiley and Tasha Cobbs Leonard, No Opportunity Wasted: The Art of Execution, will help every entrepreneur and business-minded individual accomplish whatever their goal may be.  The book is available online and at  major booksellers nationwide.  More information can be found at www.josephwalker3.org.
