Product Description
Combining a fresh examination of Jesus' ministry with the insights of the best recent discussions of leadership, Leighton Ford challenges readers to become transformational leaders on the job, in the church, and in the public arena. Includes a study guide.
Reader ReviewsLeighton Ford has written an excellent book for the Christian leader. Among the principles Ford covers include: 1. Treat others as people created by God, not things to be used. 2. A leader has a transcendant purpose and is not distracted from it. 3. The servant leader depends on God's timing and seeks to glorify God. 4. True leadership is marked by servanthood, not lordship over others. 5. Leaders will always face conlict, just like Jesus did. 6. Those who display toughness at all times probably lack inner security. 7. God is more interested in our character instead of our actions. 8. We need times alone with Christ to see if we are serving Him or self. An excellent and highly recommended book for leaders and aspiring leaders (everyone is a leader in some way)!
