McNeal identifies seven disciplines that hold the potential to transform one’s leadership from good to great: self-awareness, self-management, self-development, mission, decision-making, belonging, and aloneness. While these disciplines doubtlessly serve as catalysts to greatness in leadership, McNeal’s insights are generally stale and uninspiring. There is little here to disagree with, but, likewise, little that will adequately motivate or equip leaders (McNeal’s comments on debriefing as a form of discipleship offer a thoughtful exception).

Based on his extensive experience as coach and mentor to many thousands of Christian leaders across a broad spectrum of ministry settings, Reggie McNeal helps spiritual leaders understand that they will self-select into or out of greatness. In this important book, McNeal shows how great spiritual leaders are committed consciously and intentionally to seven spiritual disciplines, habits of heart and mind that shape both their character and competence: The discipline of self-awareness--the single most important body of information a leader possesses The discipline of self-management--handling difficult emotions, expectations, temptations, mental vibrancy, and physical well-being The discipline of self-development--a life-long commitment to learning and growing and building on one's strengths The discipline of mission--enjoying the permissions of maintaining the sense of God's purpose for your life and leadership The discipline of decision-making--knowing the elements of good decisions and learning from failure The discipline of belonging--the determination to nurture relationships and to live in community with others, including family, followers, mentors, and friends The discipline of aloneness--the intentional practice of soul-making solitude and contemplation No library descriptions found. |
