About this book
You can be a great leader. Here's how.
Your job title, education, and training won't make you a great leader—only God can do that. But The Making of a Leader can help you see where you are in the process and what steps you should take next. After examining the lives of hundreds of historical, biblical, and contemporary leaders, Dr. J. Robert Clinton gained perspective on how leaders develop over a lifetime. By studying the six distinct stages he identifies, you will learn to:
- Recognize and respond to God's providential shaping in your life
- Determine where you are in the leadership development process
- Identify others with leadership characteristics
- Direct the development of future leaders
Dr. Clinton offers a practical and spiritual framework for growing as a Christian leader—whether you are a pastor, work in a ministry organization, lead a small group, or serve as a church volunteer. This revised and updated edition includes several new appendixes and expanded endnotes, as well as an application section at the end of each chapter.
