Spirit Of Leadership Hardcover – Illustrated, January 1, 2005

Wow! This book blew my mind!! I had to read it for a college Leadership course and my life has been changed for the BETTER as a result!!If you have read a lot of leadership books by Dr John Maxwell, then be prepared to be challenged with new revelation. Dr Munroe helps the reader understand God’s original reason for WHY He had to create man and man’s mandate.This book tackles two very different concepts: (1) the spirit of leadership vs (2) the leadership spirit.I really had to focus on the subtle difference between these two concepts and Dr Munroe goes to great lengths to lay it out. Even so, it was still challenging for me to absorb especially because this was a totally new concept to me.The revelation shared by Dr Munroe in this book is deep and awe-inspiring! I will need to re-read it a couple more times for it to go deeper.In the last 200-600 Christian books I’ve read, this one for sure is #1 as the most revelatory and impactful. The teaching really helped me to understand God’s leadership mandate for humankind and that every single person has a mandate to be a leader!But get this book to have your mind challenged that we are not to force our leadership over other people!! It’s a mind-boggling concept that he exquisitely unravels!!

One of the best books I have ever read, it grabbed me from the beginning. Great book to read if you want to become a leader or already in leadership.

A must read !!! Dr Myles Munroe clearly explains with great insight the key to leadership. He uses great analogies and references to make his point concise.

Learned so much about leadership from reading this wonderful book, especially as it relates to one's attitude. I really have to start paying close attention to mine. I didn't know before now that my attitude can affect my leadership skills. Glad I read this book. God bless you Dr. Munroe for writing this book.Maureen.

I have heard people say, "Attitude is everything and thought it was non-sense, but after 20 years of leading others, I believe otherwise. When I look back at what has hindered me from growing in life, family, and leadership the common denominator has been my attitude (what a tradgedy)! However, I have learned from my folly and have grown leaps and bounds as a leader, since embracing The Spirit of Leadership! This is the first book that I have read back to back to back in my life. This is my third reading of it in 2 months and I have no regrets except that I did not embrace its message 10 years ago when I first read it. Don't make the same mistake pray, study, embrace and apply to your life and leadership.

Dr Munroe takes a fresh, thought-provoking unorthodox approach to the subject of leadership. He argues that "In every follower there is a hidden leader" and that the hidden leader will emerge when two things happen.1. The follower understands that they have The Leadership Spirit (inherit capacity to lead by virtue of being created in the image of God)2. The follower learns The Spirit of Leadership (the mindset and attitudes of a true leader)I particularly liked the fact that he didn't end the book without covering the 10 attitudes that a true leader needs. I found those to be very helpful and actionable.I didn't give it 5 stars because it's overly long. It starts out strong, drags in the middle and ends strong. I recommend this book along with the accompanying 12 DVD set available. Both the book and the DVDs are great resources.

A spiritual approach to leadership unlike no other book I’ve read related to business. Munroe shows that the creator and the Bible give more advice on leadership and we have more power within, than we often think.Key message of the book is that our thoughts create our realities. And that our attitudes are a key driver to our success.

This book was presented to me through my Bible study class at my church. As a young woman of God, my spiritual growth has always been the most important thing to me while growing up. Learning about my inherent leadership spirit and recognizing that I have the potential to do greater things than what I have been doing has been both inspiring and life altering. The attitude towards myself and towards how to accomplish the things that God has placed on the inside of me was completely changed in my mind after reading this book. I have a renewed spirit and a renewed mindset. I would encourage everyone...ESPECIALLY our younger generations...to read this book and grab hold of the knowledge and wisdom that is here for them.

This book shows that all humans were created to be leaders. It challenges us to develop the leadership spirit and serve humanity. It has a very different perspective from most other leadership views but it is a very refreshing view that we should embrace.

It meets more than my expectations. The book was written expertly and goes into great and important details about the topic. I highly recommend it. It can positively change the way people live and enjoy life here on earth.

Answer lots of the questions I had,

Informative with strategies to consider when developing personal leadership skills.Great steps to provide young and upcoming leadersUsual friendly language

The best book I’ve ever read in the subject of leadership
