THE LEADERSHIP FILES

Endorsement from Lindsay Brown, former International Director, Lausanne Movement. 'How we need godly, gifted leaders. I warmly commend this book with its priceless and enduring lessons to diugest and apply.'

Unique collection drawing on accrued wisdom of leaders in the church, global mission, industry and politics. Pithy writing with much to reflect on and to discuss. Six main contributions, each followed by questions to reflect on. Contains a major Appendix on good governance. Here in 14 pages is laid out the responsibility of boards and councils.This is an unusual book, gathering wisdom on leadership from around the world, across a century. The material has been curated for its quality, and its reach. It will stretch the minds of younger leaders to help them see what they could do; and help them to think in new categories. The material is profound, but all lucidly expressed. It would be as accessible to an undergraduate student as to a pastor or business leader. The Appendix on good governance comes at a time when sad stories of poor governance have had detrimental effects on the ministries or publishing houses they are meant to have protected. This is unique to our knowledge. We trust it will enable trustees and board members to better understand their roles, and to be able to call out bad practice.
