Recommendation

Pastor Clay Scroggins explains how to cultivate influence in order to leverage authority. He presents practical strategies for nonleaders to become good followers, seize opportunities, and apply their knowledge and expertise to every problem so they may become leaders. In this bestseller – aimed primarily at an American evangelical audience – Scroggins preaches that God put the boss in place for a reason and that with faith and hope, hard workers can ascend to similar leadership positions.

Take-Aways

  • Trying to lead when you’re not in charge makes your identity more important than your behavior. Who you are matters more than what you do.
  • A strong sense of identity is a prerequisite to being a strong leader.
  • Ambition can be positive if exercised with humility.
