Leadership Lessons from the Life of David

Don't let the title "10 to Keys to Servant Leadership" fool you. "The Empowered Leader" by Calvin Miller is a book with genuine depth and insight. He makes you take a long hard look at your own leadership. Miller has not written a "how to" manual for "would be" leaders but he has written words to awaken the leadership potential of those already called to lead. The author tells us, "Whatever leadership is, it is not a hankering after success. Leadership lies in a hunger to understand and make the world a better place." King David is the example. Thought his life you will learn ten valuable keys to the life of a servant leader, which include: fostering an honest servant image; learning the art of self-perception; networking; vision; decision making; defining, structuring, and motivating; the politics of grace and the abuse of power; and coping with difficult people. The book is not just geared for pastors, but for any leader wanting to lead from a Christian worldview. I recommend "The Empowered Leader" to all God called leaders.

A Must-Read For Anyone In Leadership!

Calvin Miller offers a very readable and informative look at 10 essential principles of leadership, using King David as the paradigm of a "godly leader." These principles include self-perception, networking, vision, decision, etc... Also includes useful illustrations and diagrams.
