Leadership Essentials: Shaping Vision, Multiplying Influence, Defining Character (IVP Essentials)
Overview
Leadership is essential. Maybe you’ve shied away from leadership because you don’t know what it will involve, or you feel too unsure of your own abilities. But your leadership is needed! In every sector of society, from families to businesses to churches, leadership roles remain empty, waiting for people willing and able to step up and make wise decisions that bring positive change. And, in a world with priorities vastly different from Christ’s, Christian leaders are especially needed to point people to him. Preparation is essential. As essential as the leadership itself is the preparation beforehand, which is why Greg Ogden, a seasoned leader himself, has created this interactive guide that will give you the tools you need to lead well, using your unique gifts and experience. Divided into four sections, this workbook will help you develop character, postures, vision, and skills. By working through these multiple channels of learning, you’ll be equipped not just with head knowledge about leadership but with true character formation and awareness of your own abilities that will prepare you for the challenges and choices of leadership.
Top Highlights
“Jesus was an exceptional builder because he was, first and foremost, an extraordinary being. His influence was the effluence of his essence. His impact was the overflow of his identity. His conduct was the outpouring of his character. And if we wish to follow him, we must begin with his holiness.” (Page 22)
“Jesus, Moses and Paul demonstrate the kind of love for the people of God that a parent has for a terminally ill child.” (Page 62)
“In a nutshell, called people live from the inside out, whereas driven people live from the outside in. Called people order their private world and thereby engage their outer world from a centered existence. Driven people are externally focused because the success standards of this world shape their motivation.” (Page 46)
“Holiness, however, is much more than the absence of sin. It is also the presence of glory” (Page 23)
“In the most familiar sense, holiness is purity. It is a state of moral perfection” (Page 22)
