The Leadership Style of Jesus (Alabama)

How to Develop the Leadership Qualities of the Good Shepherd

Plot

Does it take a gigantic ego, expensive suit, and political muscle to be a genuine leader in business? Do you need a seminary degree and silver tongue to really lead in the church? Must you intimidate to be a true leader in the home? No, says Dr. Michael Youssef. True leadership requires the calling and character of Jesus Christ. None of us can equal the original Good Shepherd, but we can learn from His example how to be better keepers of our flocks. Dr. Youssef, himself an executive in a worldwide ministry organization, has examined the Gospel accounts to discover the style of leadership Jesus modeled. In this book he suggests Christlike qualities every leader needs. But he doesn't stop there. With Jesus as the standard, Dr. Youssef considers how to deal with temptations and pressures leaders face -- including ego, anger, loneliness, doubters, criticism, the use of power, and passing the leadership torch to others. If you're "in search of excellence" when it comes to developing your leadership abilities, take a closeup look at Jesus Christ -- the greatest leader who ever lived. --! From back cover.
