Imitate This: Leadership Lessons from Jesus of Nazareth

A rigorous, accessible examination of how Jesus led-and what his methods reveal about leadership that actually works. Not devotional inspiration. Practical formation.There are thousands of books about Jesus. There are thousands of books about leadership. Imitate This is the rare book that treats Jesus's approach to leading people as a subject worthy of serious, practical examination.Each chapter takes a defining quality of Jesus's leadership-humility, courage, compassion, truth-telling-and asks two questions: What did Jesus actually do? And what does that demand of leaders today?The answers are neither sentimental nor vague. They are concrete, sometimes uncomfortable, and consistently grounded in the text of the Gospels.
