Book Review: Leadership By The Good Book

Leadership By The Good Book:  Timeless Principles for Making an Eternal Impact

 

Authors:  David L. Steward with Brandon K. Mann

Publisher:  Faith Words

Pages:  320

 

     Leadership By The Good Book is an inspirational read about leadership.  Mr. Steward and Mr. Mann write about the greatest and highest model of a leader:  Jesus.  The authors take you on the journey they started in creating their own company using Biblical principles as guidance.  Biblical teachings are related to several business situations that may arise within an organization.  Within these teachings are also the authors’ own examples of trials and lessons learned while creating the phenomenal business they have today.

 

     The authors are transparent in illustrating their hearts for the Lord, their obedience to His Word, and in caring and serving their customers and employees. This is a great read for any leader who is creating an organization and a guide to investing in people. 

 

Happy Reading!

The Heart of a Leader Review

The Heart of a Leader:  Insights on the Art of Influence

Author:  Ken Blanchard

Publisher:  David C. Cook

Pages:  192

Audience:  Adults

Genre:  Business, Christian Life, Professional Growth

This book is comprised of some of the most influential leadership quotes  that Dr. Blanchard has come across or developed.  The format of the book is very reader-friendly.  Dr. Blanchard features the sayings and writes a commentary of the quote.  These commentaries are short and are filled with Christian advice.

In my opinion, I consider all of us as leaders.  Whether you are a parent, and/or work in business or ministry we all have the ability to influence others.  I would recommend this book to everyone for this very reason.  Two of my most favorite quotes I came away with from reading Dr. Blanchard’s book are:  ‘What we give our attention to, grows.’ and ‘Take what you do seriously but yourself lightly.’

Leave a comment below of any of your favorite leadership/encouraging quotes; I would love to read them.

Happy Reading!
