    Reviewing Leadership a Christian Evaluation of Current aproaches
    (Baker Academic, 2016-06-26) William A Dyrness
    I don’t read many books on leadership, but the practice of good and ethical leadership is something I have thought a lot about. During my years at Herman Miller Inc., especially as CEO, I tried to integrate my work and my faith—that’s always been important to me and still is. This book surveys the evolution of understanding about leadership and asks important questions about faith and leading that are necessary to consider if leadership is to have a future. I have come to believe that asking the right questions may be more important than getting to the answer. Questions help us to bring to the surface what is most important, and this book does just that. Reviewing Leadership helps us to gain an understanding of the influences on leadership, things such as culture, timing, events in one’s personal history, and one’s faith. Leadership is a complex enterprise, and we do well to pay attention to influencing factors.
