Leadership Playbook, The: A Game Plan for Becoming an Effective Christian Leader

By Henry Klopp

Henry Klopp, a church consultant, sees a leadership vacuum among Christians. His response is to pack The Leadership Playbook with biblical principles of leadership and field-tested advice gleaned from experience in coaching and business. He cuts through the confusion of conflicting leadership theories by focusing on God's training process for leaders. Klopp also analyzes obstacles that derail leadership and encourages readers to be proactive with self-examination questions in each chapter.The Leadership Playbook identifies twelve "growth tests" leaders can expect to encounter and details how to learn from them. It also shows how a coaching style that made the team-oriented ministries of Nehemiah, the apostle Paul, and Jesus Christ effective can make today's leaders more successful. This is a valuable grow-and-go manual for everyone involved in, or training for, ministry, parachurch service, or lay leadership.
