From the author of the bestselling book The Disciple-Making Pastor
comes a call to Christian leaders to let go of their addiction to
secular models of leadership rooted in pragmatic success. Most
leadership literature talks about having the right kind of
leadership personality. You know the type: big-picture visionaries
who serve others and get the best out of people. But the popular
pattern of doing what works and getting rewarded for it is actually
the enemy of Christian leadership. It thrives on making our work
impersonal and exploitive. Far too often, it serves the leader
rather than those the leader leads. Sadly, this pattern dominates
Christian leadership in the West. We need a different style of
leadership-one patterned after Jesus. Jesus influenced others
because of who he was, not because he was well-known or a person of
power or because he had mastered a set of skills or implemented an
effective leadership strategy. He could have completed his mission
living in your house, driving your car, married to your spouse,
working at your office, and raising your kids because leadership
comes down to character. Many who aspire to leadership are looking
for the right circumstances so they can lead. Many in positions of
leadership find it difficult to lead because of obstacles, such as
a lack of funds, authority, and or confusion about methods. Jesus
faced all of these, and more, yet he accomplished his mission. This
is not a book about improving Christian organizations; it is about
changing how Christians lead. It is for anyone with a megaphone, a
platform to speak, who wants to lead others in being a witness for
truth. It is for people with a pulpit, whether that pulpit be a
business or a position of influence in a domain of the culture:
entertainment, sports, politics, industry, the arts, academia, or
religion. If you are someone to whom others listen-this book is for
you. Each chapter begins with a title and statement about Jesus'
life. Jesus was a different kind of teacher. The Pharisees focused
on doing the right thing. Jesus emphasized becoming the kind of
person who wants to do the right thing. Others taught the
importance of doing good; Jesus taught how to be good. He didn't
teach behavior modification alone; he taught how to change the
sources of behavior. Knowing how to lead others begins by seeing
Jesus as your leader.
