Very good book on leadership

This book was worth its money in my opinion for chapters 1, 2, and 3 alone! In the first three chapters, Finzel writes from a plethora of leadership experience on "the leader", "the task", and "the person". He deals with several issues that most other "Christian leadership/management books" don't, such as leadership doubt (10), and the work on the organizational structure that a leader must do (23-24). To me the first three chapters were what set this book apart and were the unique contributions of this book to a market swamped with leadership books saying mostly the same things (not that we don't need to hear it!). The rest of the book was great as well, but the first three made the book excellent...definitely a worthwhile read!

Leadership 101

I am a Finzel fan. Full Disclosure: I took a doctoral course from him in January '04 called "Leading Change." While we studied the usual suspects (Collins, Kotter, et. al.), the fact is very few of them have done what they are writting about. For me, at some point, I get tired of hearing from the "experts" (who are excellent, no doubt about it) & I want to hear from the generals in the field; I want to hear from the guys who have been there & done it. Finzel is such a man.This books is an excellent primer on leadership. Pithy. Succint. Only 10 chapters long, this book is a good solid read. I recommend it for all levels, but especially those young, up & comers in your organization.
