Cordeiro speaks from personal experience about the path that leads to burnout, how to avoid it, and how to heal when it happens. Such a wise and crucial lead for those so devoted to giving to others. The best advice he gives is to safeguard your time and build warning alarms into your life so you don't end up in an emergency situation. It's easier (and cheaper) to prevent burnout than to recover from it. Seriously- if you're a leader, you NEED to read this book! You can't afford not to. no reviews | add a review

This book, though, has shown me a new way to value this literature as part of my personal formation. What Wayne Cordeiro does, and does so well, is to open up a window into his own experience of leadership burn-out and then trace his path back to wellness. He is very open about the painfulness of the process and offers detailed descriptions of the safeguards he has since put in place to prevent it from happening again. The book's greatest value for me is that I didn't feel the pressure to slavishly imitate the "Wayne Cordeiro Method" of burn-out recovery but the opportunity to assimilate some pieces of the "Wayne Cordeiro Method" into the "Jared Runck Design."
If I ever one day become a leadership guru, this book will most certainly deserve a good part of the credit. It is a book on leadership that doesn't feel like just another book on leadership. It's fresh, inviting, honest, and helpful. It WILL fill your tank if you're leading on empty! ( )
