Lead Like Jesus, by Ken Blanchard & Phil Hodges

Where do you lead? Family? Church? Business? Community? Where can you find a leadership model that can transform your life?

Ken Blanchard has found that all successful leadership characteristics are modeled after the leadership style of Jesus. In Lead Like Jesus, Blanchard and Hodges focus on four key areas and how they can direct you toward becoming the incredible leader you aim to be.

The four areas include:

• Heart–What is your motivation as a leader, whether as head of a family, church, or a large corporation?
• Head–What are your beliefs and viewpoints about leadership?
• Hands–Do you set clear goals and measure performance, consistently following up with those you lead?
• Habits–How do you refresh and renew yourself as a leader?

Your leadership transformation means adopting a God’s-eye view of your life and leadership. You will learn how to align your leadership motivation, viewpoint, behaviors, and habits with those of Jesus to effectively lead others.

In Lead Like Jesus, you get not only the advantage of Blanchard and Hodges’ expertise, but also assessment tools that will help you analyze your own leadership style. Effective design for personal, one-on-one, team, family, or community leadership starts on the inside. Whether you lead a corporation, church or a family, Lead Like Jesus will transform your life and the lives of those you touch.

Jesus modeled servant leadership, leading by example. He said “I came to serve not to be served.” Now, two thousand years later, Jesus has over 2.1 billion followers, which makes Him the undisputed greatest leader of all time. He is the only flawless example. That’s why you should read this book!

If you want to be the servant leader that Jesus mandated His followers to be, then read Lead Like Jesus. It will change your life and the lives of people you are able to influence.

You’ll find few men better qualified to address this topic than Ken Blanchard. His favorite name is “Jesus” and preferred verb is “lead.” Let him do for you what he’s done for me and millions of others–help you lead like Jesus.
