What would it mean for you to reveal your true character to those you lead?
Most would agree that character plays a critical role in leadership. But does that mean the best leaders are nearly perfect people? Or are leaders those who recognize their weaknesses and allow those shortcomings to be transformed into strengths?
Author and speaker Dan Allender draws on humor, real-life stories and biblical truth to argue that every leader must both have a character and be a character. How can we proclaim resurrection without naming death and darkness? Likewise, how can we be renewed and restored without acknowledging the reality that we are marred?
"It is in our brokenness," he concludes, "that we have our greatest opportunity to reveal the heart of God's goodness." And the greatest opportunity to enhance and strengthen our leadership.
Dan B. Allender serves as president and professor of counseling at Mars Hill Graduate School in Seattle, Washington. He is involved in training leaders to live authentically through the Leadership Crucible ( www.leadershipcrucible.com ), and is the author of The Wounded Heart and The Healing Path.
