For Second and First Chair Leaders

And I know that all leadership is challenging. But I was not ready for the difficult dance that a second chair has to manage. No one person - even a senior pastor - can be the expert on ...

Great insights from a couple Harvard profs. They admit it sounds a bit too soft, but I think it's the best line in the book: "Exercising leadership is a way of giving meaning to your life by contributing to the lives of other. At its best, leadership is a labor of love." S. Drury

Seven Lessons for Leading in Crisis (J-B Warren Bennis Series)19 reviews
Bill George
Jossey-Bass, 2009
A Chance to Get Ahead- The Crisis...
The book of the week was 7 Lessons For Leading in a Crisis by Bill George. I have a lot of appreciation for this book. I feel that a 'crisis' is a relative term. A lot of young professionals have 'crises' early in their career and what they consider a crisis early in their career is nothing more than a hiccup later on. And the way young professionals handle crises early in their career set the ...

The "ups" and "downs" of effective leadership
I read this book soon after it first appeared (in 2001) and recently re-read it, curious to know how well its core concepts and insights have held up. My conclusion? Very, very well. At the outset, for those who have not as yet read Michael Useem's brilliant book, it would be helpful to understand what he means by "leading up." As he explains, "Leadership has always required more than a downward ...
