The single most impressive leader in the history of the planet was Jesus. No one ever created a more breath-taking vision, instilled deeper values, or changed more lives. Yet if you looked at some of his actions, you'd see him breaking some of the cardinal rules of leadership. He alienates rich people. He hangs out with kids. He picks a team of losers and traitors. And he lets that team see him at his most broken and vulnerable.
Modern business practice and scholarship have honed the laws of leadership. To achieve success, you're supposed to choose a strong team. Cozy up to rich people. Keep the momentum going. Never let 'em see you sweat. But what happens when those laws of leadership success directly conflict with the quiet whispers of the Holy Spirit?
Using stories from his own life and ministry, Bill Hybels shows how the laws for leadership success can sometimes crash headlong into another reality: an inner prompting of the Spirit showing you that something quite different is required. And how the decisions you make at that point could affect not only you, but the ultimate destiny of those you lead.
