Making of a Leader - Clinton
I’ve been thumbing through Bobby Clinton’s book again recently. When I saw this post at OnMovements.com the power of his observations stuck me anew. It was powerful when I read it, but it seems even more true as I view it in light of the challenges that are before the church today.
This work is the fruit of a comparative study of over 1200 leaders and the various stages that people go through as the Lord shapes them. Pages 44-46 are worth the price of the book alone. This understanding was powerful in itself when I read it as a (very) young Campus Director at the University of Connecticut.
Unlike many of the books that now sit in my library, Clinton’s book seems even more timely and relevant. I like to think it is because I’m growing in wisdom. In any case, the onmovements blog entry is a great summary of the Seven Major Lessons on leadership. You can also head to Bobby Clinton’s website and download his paper entitled Leadership Lessons. (Straight from the horse’s mouth.)
While you are at it, I’ll just point out that the articles link at Clinton’s sight looks like it is packed with awesome stuff.
