Everybody in the Church, of whatever denomination seems to be thinking about “Leadership”. The author has himself been appointed to the relatively newly formed Foundation for Church leadership, and this book is very much about how existing leaders can improve their skill sets and how new leaders can realise what is means to be a leader in the modern church. This book should be essential reading for all prospective clergy – to allow them to realise what lies ahead and the pitfalls they are likely to face. The book brings up to date all the thinking we may have had on leadership and introduces some interesting and new facets of existing skills. We remember that we are part of a team and that sort of leadership needs different skills – gone are the days when “Father was right”. A book you don’t really want your congregations to get hold of, for then they will realise what you should be doing!
