Rob McKenna is a stellar researcher who has the unusual knack of being able to communicate his findings in ways that are not only understandable, but engaging and motivating. In my opinion, you run the risk of being dead in the water if you don’t read Dying to Lead.” “The heart felt cry of every Christian leader I know is to somehow move their organization to a level of excellence on a scale that can only be measured in a kingdom scale and economy. Rob McKenna’s work provides important language and thinking which advances leadership in new and important ways.” “In Dying to Lead, Dr. McKenna has woven together the unique characteristics of truly inspirational leadership. In a day when it has been all about me, he shows us that sacrificial leadership is a key ingredient to answering the universal questions of meaning, faith, purpose in the context of community.” “Dying to Lead gives us an authentic peek into the heart of a leader revealing stuff that most leaders are encouraged not to discuss. Questions ranging from “Why do I really lead?” to “Do I have the courage to be irrelevant?” to “How can I lead when I’m such a dork?” will stretch your thinking about your leadership and you will have no choice but to grow.” “Rob McKenna has taken an intriguing approach to helping leaders of all levels assess their capabilities and motives. It is a challenging book, in that it asks questions that require some reflection and more than a cursory read. The book has been structured in a way that encourages thoughtful consideration of each chapter and is ideally suited to guide discussions with a mentor or small group. If you’re a leader looking for more than an organizational gimmick or trick to improve your leadership ability, take the time to read and think through Dying to Lead. You’ll finish with a better understanding and appreciation of why you are leading.” “I’ll say right now that I was deeply moved from reading Dying to Lead, and that I’ve never read anything quite like it. It is written from the heart, and is both challenging to managers and practical at the same time. Most importantly, it got right to the issue of character and spiritual values and how we need to die to self while moving forward and becoming an instrument of God. Dying to Lead is an important book for managers.” |
