Andy Stanley, the senior pastor of the North Point Ministries campuses with a cumulative congregation of more than twenty thousand, admits he has one single, core passion. He lives to train and mentor young leaders to be the best they can be! He sees the “next gen” need for quality Christian resources on leadership and wrote this book entrenched in leadership himself, desiring to guide the up-and-coming young men and women who will shape our future.
My Take Away:I read this book when I was young leader and it helped me to work on the character traits that set the tone for how I was to lead in the future. This book is about being who you want people to see you as. The things we do today will have results and consequences in the future, so we need to make sure that we take long term affects into account. Sometimes this means making a stand when no one else will and sometimes it means sitting down and taking the advice of those around us. This was a great introduction to the leadership principles that so many have lived before me and that would become the basis for my leadership in the future.
