Synopsis

Jesus is simply the greatest leadership model of all time, and He asks us to make a difference in the world we live in by being effective servant leaders. Ken Blanchard, Rick Warren and Bill Hybels join forces to offer a clear, insightful look at Jesus, the servant leader. Lead Like Jesus is a new concept to help people take God out of the spiritual compartment of their private spiritual life and give Him free reign in all their daily actions and relationships, especially their leadership roles. Jesus set the basic foundation for the leadership journey throughout his ministry. During His time on earth, Jesus poured His life into the training of His disciples in the first three leadership arenas, and during that process, He equipped them to follow His leadership philosophy after He was gone as they moved to the organizational level and attempted to establish the church.

I recently reread this book, which was the first, and I believe, still the best, treatment of servant leadership that I have read. The authors tell us that the world is in desperate need of a different leadership role model. Many leaders act as if the sheep are there only for the benefit of the shep......more

Goodreads review by Michael

A basic (non-technical) "how-to" leadership guide for the committed Christian working in management, by the author of "The One Minute Manager" and co-author Phil Hodges. This is an easy read, filled with real-life examples and suggested exercises to improve leadership skills..........more

Goodreads review by Makenzie

This was the second book I read with my staff for weekly talks. Sadly, I did not enjoy this as much as Love Like That. There were many great parts and wonderful points, but I thought it could've been shortened by at least 100 pages. Quotes I might want to look back on: "Self-promotion (pride) and self......more
