The Aspiring Leader's Guide to the Future (Clay Scroggins)
Leadership is not what it used to be. Too many leaders today are calibrated for a world that no longer exists. And people are demanding something far different in leaders of today. Like a new house outfitted with the greatest VHS system on the planet, too many leaders address today's problems with the style and substance of yesterday's leadership.
In The Aspiring Leader's Guide to the Future, pastor and author Clay Scroggins uses disarming candor and simplicity while examining nine age-old maxims of what makes a great leader, showing where the old may need updating. Today's leaders rarely feel ready to lead, don't always have the right people on the bus, and are willing to be vulnerable even when they don't have the answers. The way forward requires an understanding of the past, a conviction of what's at stake today, and a vision for how tomorrow will be.
