Description
Based on years of proven experience and scholarly insight, the author gives fresh perspectives on the essence of New Testament leadership. He describes how and why it is distinct from management, administration, or ministry and offers clear guidance on topics such as: foresight, trust, criticism, caring, status, timing, failure and honour. “Understanding Leadership” also emphasizes lifestyle and attitude, helping you foster interdependence while maintaining identity and integrity with your church, business or community.

A most helpful book that gets right to the core.
Annabelle Egginton –
Excellent read on real leadership and what it means and doesn’t mean. Good for self-correction where it is needed and also an excellent insight on why some people can’t lead.
Indispensable to anyone in a leadership position or on on their way to.
Richard Tavener –
This book looks at the nature and problems of leadership, particularly in Christian organisations (although the principles have general application). The problems of power are discussed and the antidote of servant leadership, as modelled by Christ, is proposed.
Other topics covered are coping with criticism, stress management, relationships and trust, and love and honour.
There is a valuable chapter on failure in leadership.
A book to study and digest carefully.
