Leadership for Today

Putting Jesus' Model to Work for You

by Clair Woodbury and Joyce Madsen

This book looks at Jesus' three years of ministry with new eyes. It explores the eight key facets of leadership that made his mission so effective. His leadership was spiritual, visionary, flexible, story-centred, team-based, risking, action-oriented, and authentic. There are stories and more stories, because we Christians are above all story people. It has some specific "how-to-do-it" advice, recognizing that every situation is different and requires a unique approach.

But above all, this book is a prayer for the church, that it become the place of spiritual support our grandchildren need as they take on the challenges of a future world we can hardly imagine. That is the way we hope people will read it - with a candle burning as a reminder of God's presence, and a passion burning in their hearts for a church that is dedicated to the primary task Jesus left his followers - transforming lives into everything God intends them to be.

Jesus leadership was so effective it changed the world. What kind of leadership did he offer? Would that leadership model be effective today? Our answer is YES!
