Leadership From One Who Does It and Communicates It!

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on August 21, 2000

This book is a steal! Where [can] you get in one place such practical wisdom from a successful, significant, and sacrifical pastor like Leith Anderson. He successfully combines an understand of character and comptence, with a conviction that great leaders have both.
He successfully juggles the practice of pastoral ministry with the ability to write and speak about the broad spectrum of pastoral ministry. Leith is one of the top five communciators about pastoral ministry in North American today.
One quote sums up the book: "Leadership is figuring out what needs to be done and then doing it." [51]
When you read Leadership That Works you are not hearing primarily about the success story of Wooddale Church, you are hearing about the principles of leadership that actually will work for you in your place of ministry.
I can personally testify to the validity of Leith's ministry having heard him speak, engaged him in dialogue, visited with him in his own church for worship, and seen his authentic ministry at work.

This is an outstanding resource on what is necessary to lead well. The principles are clear and understandable. The examples provide practical insights into how to make these principles work. This is a must-read for everyone involved with church leadership.

This has been a very good read. It explains about change and how people will take the best of you and walk away after they've gotten everything they can from you. Sad but true. People want what they want at any cost to anyone else.
