Book Reviews of Next Generation Leader: 5 Essentials for Those Who Will Shape the Future
Book Review: Great read for encouragement, clarity, and reminders about effective leadership
Summary: 4 Stars
This was a good leadership book, and had a really concrete premise: get courage, competence, clarity, coachability, and character right, and you'll lead successfully. As usual, Andy Stanley's a good communicator, and there's no wondering what he means.
That said, there's nothing in here that I would call revolutionary or that completely surprised, as there was in, for example, Bill Hybel's "Axiom." This book is a very useful, solid read, but if you've been leading for any amount of time, this will probably come as a support, a reminder about some first principles, and an encouragement. I doubt that you'll be scratching your head thinking, "I never would have thought of that!" Still, the value is the many cases where you will think, "I had intuited that, but this is great to see it laid out clearly and succinctly."
This book belongs on any leader's shelf, and it won't collect dust. From here, move to Hybels, Maxwell, and the other works on leadership, and you'll be pleased.
