Lead Like Jesus

Ken Blanchard and Phil Hodges are so passionate about the Lead Like Jesus message that they invite you to join them in sharing this new work with twelve leaders within your church and twelve high level leaders in your sphere of influence. It is their hope as you read it, you will share their conviction that leading like Jesus can change the quality and effectiveness of all your professional and personal relationships and as a result restore joy in your work and family. Will you imagine with them people around the world leading like Jesus!


With simple yet profound leadership principles modeled in the life of Jesus, combined with leadership examples from life experiences, veteran authors and leadership experts Ken Blanchard and Phil Hodges, guide readers through the process of discovering how to lead like Jesus. Leading like Jesus can be described as the process of aligning two internal domains (the heart and the head) and two external domains (the hands and the habits). These four dimensions of leadership form the outline for this very practical and transformational book.


Blanchard and Hodges focus on servant leadership as taught and modeled by Jesus as the most effective way of creating right results and relationships in business, the community, or your family. In Lead Like Jesus the authors explore how Jesus of Nazareth transformed an unlikely group of people into the next generation of leaders of a movement that continues to impact the world two thousand years later. Blanchard and Hodges say leading like Jesus is a transformational journey and a commitment to lead and serve in a different way.?


Life role leadership is legacy leadership as we interact with those we serve in our families, our churches and our communities. Organizational leadership is seasonal leadership and calls us to practice succession planning as we serve those of the next generation in their recognizing and realizing their future plans and goals. This book also provides the wisdom of Blanchard and Hodges in a new developmental model called the Way of the Carpenter as they plumb the depths of the eighteen years of relative obscurity when Jesus learned and practiced the carpenter trade at the side of his earthly father, Joseph, and how that relates to how we lead today.
