About this ebook

This book draws on Trevor’s experience in both Christian and secular organisations to look at different patterns for leadership and he explains the necessity for every leader to model a clear strategy for their work. He outlines 8 different philosophical approaches, he identifies 14 potentially destructive attitudes that should be avoided, he highlights 10 major qualities by which every leader should seek to measure themselves, and he includes a massive resource in his bibliography. The book is essential reading for every person in any leadership role, whether in business, industry, education or commerce, for every church leader, for every leader in a charity or voluntary organisation, for every person contemplating a position of leadership, and for every person who is following someone else’s leading. Trevor explains that every organisation would benefit from appointing leaders who accept and understand how to apply these key principles of Christian Leadership.
