I really enjoyed Al Mohler's book The Conviction to Lead. I have already read some portions over again and I am sure I will keep coming back to it over the years. Here are ten quotes from the book. I plan on posting ten more later. I would recommend the book for any Christian in any leadership position.
“When a leader walks into the room, a passion for truth had
better enter with him.”
“I believe that leadership is all about putting the right
beliefs into action, and knowing, on the basis of convictions, what those right
beliefs and actions are.”
“There are plenty of very intelligent people who have
virtually no ability to lead.”
“The most important truths come alive through stories, and
faithful leadership is inseparable from the power and stewardship of story.”
“Leadership is the consummate human art. It requires nothing
less than that leaders shape the way their followers see the world.”
“Disciplined thought requires the leader to think clearly
about how things connect and how reality is to be analyzed.”
“Until conviction is transformed into action, it makes no
difference in the world.”
“True credibility rests in the ability of others to trust
what the leader can do.” (Emphasis
his)
“Every single day, the faithful leader must be aware that
credibility is the essence of leadership, and that it can be both earned and lost.”
