Transforming Leadership
Leighton Ford, Michael GreenPaperback 1993-02-11
Publisher Description
A book for leaders, by leaders, about the greatest leader of them all.
In our rapidly changing and ever more complex world, we suffer a crisis of leadership. Leighton Ford sees the growing dearth of bold leaders - in the marketplace, religion and public life. In this powerful book, Ford calls Christians to be transformational leaders.
Many leaders work within situations; transformational leaders change situations. Many leaders accept what can be talked about; transformational leaders change what can be talked about. Many leaders talk about payoffs; transformational leaders talk about goals. Many leaders bargain; transformational leaders appeal to a common vision.
Ford realizes that desperately needed Christian and transformational leadership will not emerge until we have a model of the transforming leader. And what more powerful example of leadership could there be than Jesus? Insightfully examining Jesus' work and the best recent books on leadership, Ford presents - the leader as strategist - the leader as seer - the leader as seeker - the leader as servant - the leader as struggler - the leader as sustainer.
Executives, pastors, managers, professionals - all will benefit from this fresh, in-depth treatment by a man who is himself one of the world's finest Christian leaders.
