The 4 Dimensions of Extraodinary Leadership by Jenni Catron

   

   Leadership is what we need in all areas of our lives today. We need to have someone who has a dream and is not afraid to seek it with a group of others. And others need to have someone who can cast a vision.

   Leadership is a journey taken with others. You can’t be a leader if you have nobody following you. And no one follows a person who has no dream.

   In order for one to be a good leader he must be able to lead himself. Know yourself.

   In the spiritual realm there are four areas of dimensions that are called for: heart, body, soul and spirit. We should be relational and visionary with the spiritual thrown in as well as the managerial. It is a mix that is presented here that comes together in the Style Catron offers.

   Catron offers a chance to assess your style. She infers you journey to leadership. A slow but steady journey through wisdom is what is called for. This is a good starting point for discussion groups to work with.    

   At the end of each chapter is a brief summary of the issue covered in the chapter. This will enable the discussion leader to shepherd the discussion.

Fairness Is Overrated by Tim Stevens

Of the writing of books there is no end. And when it comes to books about leadership this seems to be true.

 Leadership has been dissected and reassembled so many times that it may not answer the same definition as you have.

We could write a book about any aspect of leadership and still there would be much to write about. Leadership is not easy and since it is not easy should have rules.

Stevens gives 52 chapters, each set up one per week for a year, of principles of leadership which can be applied just as easily to church as well as to corporate situations.

Rules need to be followed if you are going to make an impression as a leader or just a follower.

From his years of working with leadership Stevens seems to be adequately equipped to handle another book on leadership.

I found this book to be refreshing. Stevens does not lord it over you but, as mentioned above, systematically in 52 small easy to implement chapters, if you should desire to use it as a small group study, presents things to consider in this area called leadership.

Leadership is not meant to be fair but workable.

This book was sent free to be reviewed from the publisher. I was not required to like this book, which I did. Any opinions shared are those of the reviewer and not of the publisher.
