Contents:

Somebody has to be the big fish: managing and organizing are not the same as leading -- Everybody is a leader-sort of: recognize the difference between situational and habitual leadership -- Leadership is a team sport: know the four types-directing, strategic, team-building, and operational-and how they work together -- What's your point?: we don't lack opportunities; we lack God's vision for us -- It's what's inside that matters: if you believe people support leaders because of their skills, think again; it's character -- If you want good followers, create them: it's a leader's job to train effective followers-and it must be a priority -- Conflict: the leader's secret weapon: if you want to be popular, become an entertainer; if you want to lead, get used to choppy waters -- God first, leadership second: there is no such thing as an effective Christian leader who puts spiritual growth on the back burner -- What got you here won't get you where you need to go: understanding the life cycles of organizations and which leadership type best fits each stage will help you progress.
