Ministry requires that I wear many different hats. And while I provide a lot of team leadership to the staff I work with, and other leaders within the church, I’ve never though of that role in terms of being an executive. That has always help corporate overtones in my thinking.
But that’s not necessarily the case. According to the back of the dust jacket, “it doesn’t matter what size your organization is, or even whether you run an organization at all. Anyone who has responsibility for getting the right things done — anyone who seeks how best to self-deploy on the few priorities that will make the biggest impact — is an executive.”
In that light, I think The Effective Executive may be a helpful book for my leadership growth. It will encourage maintaining the right priorities, and help accomplish them effectively. And it has helped people for more than fifty years.
If you are in a position of leadership, no matter what the organization might be, you should probably read this book as well. You can pick up a copy on Amazon.
