Customer Reviews

Wrong version.

Received the workbook instead of the actual book like I had ordered.

Book on CD cool

This is an excellent book on CD. I get to listen over chapters that I needed to review.

Essential!

Many spend a lot of time perfecting their skills inorder to improve and maximize their job or leadership efficiency. This author challenges us to maximize that efficiency from a place within that many dare to explore and/or develop. This is absolutely a "must read" for the leader who wants to be the best s/he can be.

Leading With A Limp

I ordered this book along with the workbook and found both very helpful. Even though I have been told I am a good leader in my church I have been avoiding leading because I have felt I am not one because I am so flawed. I always thought you only become a great leader when you overcome all of your limitations and mistakes. Was I ever wrong. This book tells you how to take your deep wounds, lifelong limps, flaws, and weaknesses to accomplish some of the most amazing things. Your limp becomes a sign, to the leader and the follower. Just as in the Bible, God chooses those with flaws and makes effective leaders out of them. And He will do the the same with you. The oddest thing in the whole book is that the best leaders are the ones who do not seek leadership. The writer says the best leaders are consumed with doubts so they flee leadership and they give away their power. And leadership comes back to them. This book humbles you. And leaves you with hope. You will see God's power in your brokenness. A limping leader is the person God uses to accomplish amazing things.
