Sometimes we can get so busy looking for the latest and greatest. With the extensive library I have, I choose recently to go back and start rereading some of the great content I have…revisiting classic content from the context of today.
Rick Joyner’s Leadership: The Power of a Creative Life is definitely worth revisiting or investing in for a first time go round. He walks the fine line of bringing together a lot of intricately related content with enough substance to provide true value, yet brief enough that the busy individual looking for this content will actually be able to get through it.
Inspiring and yet practical, for the novice and for the experienced, Joyner notes
“Leadership is the ability to mobilize others to accomplish a common goal. Successful leadership is combined witht the resolve, courage, and endurance that it takes to accomplish the goal, to press the job until it is finished.”
“There will always be leadership. Whenever there is an abscence of leadership, it will quickly be filled by someone. If the noble do not rule the profane will. The best men and women in history, as well as the most evil, have used the same principles of leadership. If evil prevails in a place or a time, it is because the initiaive is seized while the good waivered. When good prevails it is because the good seize the initiaive and lead.”
“A study made by Richard Leider and David Shapiro found that the number one fear people have is to live a meaningless life. Defining one’s purpose and fulfilling it is the depest yearning of the human soul.”
Whether you are the leader of a business, an association, a ministry or simply want clearer direction for your family; this is worth the time to digest more than once.
