Good Morning,
My current read is ‘The Conviction to Lead’ by Dr. Albert Mohler (http://www.amazon.com/Conviction-Lead-The-Principles-Leadership/dp/0764210041/). It is a book on leadership, yet, it comes at leadership from new angles that I have never read before and in some cases, did not consider. It is a very easy to read book and I am thoroughly enjoying it.
Here are a few gems:
Leaders need to understand worldviews:
“Far too often leaders aim at the surface level and stop there. Read leadership doesn’t happen until worldviews are changed and realigned. You might be able to lead a group to build a house without trying to shape worldviews, but you cannot build a movement that way…Leadership is the consummate human art. It requires nothing less than that leaders shape the way their followers think about what is real, what is true, what is right, and what is important.”
Leaders are Thinkers:
“Our actions may never reach the heights of our thinking, but you can be certain that the quality of your actions will even exceed the quality of your thinking”.
Seems common sense after reading these, but how often do we, as leaders, even consider them? Probably not enough.
I am looking forward to continuing to enjoy this book and the wisdom it imparts.
Enjoy!
