Synopsis

Everybody knows that leading is challenging. Leaders are out front, showing people and organizations new places where they can and should go. They have to inspire people to challenge themselves to do more things or to increase their abilities in order to achieve specific goals.

About this title

From the Inside Flap:

Often this is not easy. Real success hardly ever is. The road is difficult and treacherous. Rebellion and failure are not uncommon. People can be resistant to demands and expectations placed upon them by those who are leading them. Leaders have to learn to be diplomatic yet decisive. They have to be encouraging while insisting on momentum. They have to be a reassuring voice while also requiring discipline. Longevity in Leadership was written for those who currently are leading or want to lead in business and in churches. Leading can often be discouraging work, so Longevity in Leadership encourages both leaders and potential leaders to stay the course and lead effectively and successfully for a long time.

Review:

“An inspiring and motivational read for all, especially those desiring leadership roles. Based on new research, a dozen learnable skills are identified for aspiring leaders. A fascinating and fresh look at what makes an effective spiritual leader for the long-term.”

—LYNN A. MCMILLON, PhD, President, The Christian Chronicle, distinguished professor, Dean Emeritus, Oklahoma Christian University

 

“Longevity in Leadership strikes the balance between the complex breadth of challenges that face leaders today and the details necessary to accomplish lasting impact in leadership.”

—JIM UTLEY, Director of Technical Services, Niagara Bottling

“An excellent ‘fly-over’ introduction to major, time-tested, foundational Christian leadership principles and practices. It whets the appetite of aspiring leaders so that they can become serious, life-long practitioners of Christian leadership.”

—LYNN ANDERSON, founder, Hope Network Ministries, author of Talking Back to God and They Smell Like Sheep
