The Lion Mentality is a book that focuses on leading like a lion while understanding what makes a lion survive in the world that he is born to reign. The lion mentality is about more than being the strongest, or the fastest or the biggest but developing attitude on the lion. When you are driven by passion, purpose, and vision, you will begin to understand why all the other animals fear the lion. God has planted in the DNA of the lion the will to survive and to teach this concept to those that will follow. The Lion is the king because he knows what it takes to make it through another day. This strategy he teaches to those that will follow and desire to develop the lion mentality.
The concept of lion leadership was birth out of my desire to watch documentary's that explored the life of a lion. This knowledge of the lion was merged with my passion for leadership and my passion for biblical studies. When both biblical studies come together with leadership studies and the attitude of the lion, you get the "the lion mentality".
Lynwood Batts was born in Wilson County, North Carolina to the parents of Allan Harris and Magdalene Batts. He grew up playing with cousins and working on his grandfather's farm, who was a preacher and pastor in the Primitive Baptist Association.
In 1984 Lynwood heard the call of God to preach the gospel while living in Syracuse, New York. He later returned to North Carolina where he received the call to pastor at Vaughn's Chapel Missionary Baptist Church in Elm City, North Carolina. It is there that he continues to develop disciples that have the Lion Mentality.
