Lead Like Jesus

Abstract

The world is in desperate need of a different leadership role model. Written a decade ago, the original Lead Like Jesus book begins with this statement, which we believe is still true today. Our experiences and learnings in the last ten years have continued to remind us that the most important thing in leadership is the leader; the most important part of the leader is his or her heart; and the most important connection to a leader’s heart is God. Most leadership resources focus on management techniques, competencies, strategies, and tactics while ignoring the most important part of leadership—the leaders themselves. At Lead Like Jesus, we believe that real, lasting change starts on the inside. When a leader chooses to allow Jesus to transform him or her from the inside out, that choice will have an effect on everyone and everything that leader influences. We are clear: you can’t lead like Jesus without Jesus!
