Description
Combining expertise in leadership studies and biblical studies, Justin Irving and Mark Strauss explore how leadership models have moved from autocratic and paternalistic leader-centered models toward an increased focus on followers. The authors show how contemporary theories such as transformational leadership, authentic leadership, and servant leadership take an important step toward prioritizing and empowering followers who work with leaders to accomplish organizational goals. Irving and Strauss organize their book around "nine empowering practices," making it accessible to students, church leaders, and business leaders.
Integrating solid research in leadership studies with biblical and theological reflection on the leadership ideas that are most compatible with Christian faith, this book is an important resource for all Christian students of leadership.

Eddie G, Reviewer
I read a lot of leadership books and a lot of Christian books, so when I saw this title I was almost compelled to read this one too. I found the concepts to be quite useful. It was thoughtfully arranged and compelling in the arguments for this approach to leadership. I would have given it five stars except for the apparent juxtaposition in each chapter when the authors changed. I felt the material could have been merged in a manner that provided the reader with a better flow of information. It was almost like there were two books smashed together by an editor after the fact. I would still give the book a high recommendation for anyone looking to understand leadership from a Christian perspective.
