Learning to Lead: How to Bring Out the Best in People

Despite the jokes about "too many chiefs and not enough Indians," genuine leadership is in short supply in most churches. "Leadership," according to Fred Smith, "is what enables any group to bridge the chasm between where they are and where they should be. Crossing the Red sea, passing through the desert, or facing any immediate difficulty, a group needs leadership to make progress." True leaders attract followers and bring out the best in them. This book offers fresh insight into what leadership demands and suggests practical ways to become a better leader--of yourself, of your co-workers, of your congregation. It is for those who recognize that leadership is important for any church to grow and penetrate the community.
