<p><strong>INTRODUCTION TO LEADERSHIP</strong></p><p>- Dr. Allen Smith -</p><p><br></p><p> Years ago, I preached a message on leadership in the church that I pastored at the time. This</p><p>message was not about the world concept about leadership. I was about the Biblical concept of</p><p>leadership. There is a big difference in the two concepts.</p><p><br></p><p>This book takes a different look at leadership than you have ever seen before. It is more than a</p><p>"How To" book. It gives you examples of different leadership styles and explains what is right</p><p>and what is wrong with each one. It points out things that I have never thought about before.</p><p><br></p><p>There is no doubt that leadership is often misunderstood, and much of the time it is the leaders</p><p>themselves who are the ones who misunderstand leadership the most. This book does an</p><p>excellent job in bringing this fact out.</p><p><br></p><p>With wisdom, wit, and biblical teaching, this book will give you a good foundation of what leadership</p><p>is. Leadership is not about titles, status, and power.&nbsp;Real leadership comes from a faithful life and</p><p>humble spirit. Real leadership qualities are God-given, and their true effectiveness can only be</p><p>reached when they are used for the glory of God. Do not forget, God is more concerned about a</p><p>leader's character than a leader's success.</p><p><br></p><p>Finally, this book closes out with the biblical concept of leadership. I urge you to not only read it, but</p><p>to study it. With this book and God's help, you can become the leader God wants you to be. When</p><p>you lean on the Lord and you learn from His example of perfect leadership, you will see lives</p><p>transformed, beginning with your own!</p>
