Do I want to Lead like Jesus...
That's the question that my present book asks again and again, and I'm pleased to say that the answer is "yes".Some of the ideas even in the first part of the book are really simple, but challenging, like, does Jesus qualify as experienced enough to be your leadership role model? And again the answer is a resounding "yes".
Having now read a fair amount of the book, I think I may have worked out the ending - Leading like Jesus is ALL about being a servant leader, not a self-serving one.
Does that mean that I can stop reading it now? Well, no, and to be honest I don't want to. It's a really good (if somewhat annoyingly challenging) read. In fact it's one of the few books that I'm pretty sure I'll come back to again, and again.
My only slight frustration, is that Liz (big boss) mentioned today that she's read both "Lead like Jesus", and "Good to Great" within the last 3 weeks, and that makes me quite frustrated that I seem to either read slow and understand, or read fast and may as well not have bothered!!.
That reminds me, Richard Bromley gave me the title of a book I should read all about reading!! Sounds interesting - and maybe even helpful (if somewhat ironic).
Right, now where did I put it again?
