Corner Office, Higher Call: 100 CEOs on the Power of Faith, Family, and Hard Work

By: Richard S. Lytle Release date is 09/29/2026 Description Learn to lead at the highest levels without compromising what matters most. In Corner Office, Higher Call, Dr. Richard Lytle offers a rare backstage pass into decades of primary research and his personal friendships with hundreds of Christ-following CEOs. These high-level, large-scale business leaders openly share the practices and patterns that have helped them remain grounded and empowered in their marriages, homes, churches, and marketplaces. Join Dr. Lytle as he reveals how these leaders have navigated organizational and financial success, relentless pressure, loneliness, family dynamics, failure, and extraordinary levels of responsibility—all while remaining firmly rooted in Christ. This is not a typical business leadership book. It offers a distinctive, honest look at what happens in the lives of major-league leaders who intentionally integrate faith into every aspect of life, leadership, and family. This work captures what the most faithful marketplace leaders truly live out: courage under pressure, humility amid success, honesty about struggle, and conviction that runs counter to culture. At its core, Corner Office, Higher Call affirms that workplace leadership holds eternal significance, not only for companies but also for employees, families, and communities shaped by those decisions. Author Dr. Richard Lytle is President and CEO of CEO Forum, Inc.—a ministry dedicated to the spiritual leadership development of marketplace executives and their families. He previously served as Dean of the College of Business Administration at Abilene Christian University, where he invested in the development of future leaders for nearly thirty years. As a faculty member, dean, author, consultant, public speaker and CEO, Rick has engaged leaders of all types (age, gender, ethnicity, culture) across scores of industries, studying how faith is lived out under the pressures of marketplace leadership. His work is grounded in research and relationships with leaders seeking to integrate faith, family, and responsibility. He is passionate about helping leaders pursue excellence while living lives deeply rooted in Christ. Specs ISBN: 9781684261154 Pages: 262 Dimensions (inches): 5.5 x 8.25 Weight (pounds): .5
