(Indonesian) Deskripsi dari seorang pemimpin yang jelas dan berjangka panjang, tidak takut kehabisan visi karena belajar dari sejarah, seperti yang dilakukan tokoh sentral masa hidupnya. Pemimpin yang otomatis hampir tidak pernah kehilangan pengikut, karena selalu jelas dan bergairah. Salah satu gaya kepemimpinan yang tidak ditawarkan dalam pelajaran manajemen. Namun artinya dalam bagi mereka yang mengadopsi dan dimpimpin dengan cara ini. Dan pemimpin ini tidak perlu susah payah berargumen mempe More...

Geared to the business world, but has many applications in dealing with people in general. Page 111- chapter titled "He was Bold" points out that Jesus did not debate in his head or with commitees His next step, as he already knew in his head and heart what the next, correct step should be. He drove our the money changers, He walked into the temple and taught as 12 years of age, not out of arrogance, but out of boldness and clarity. He used his very blood to paint the message. Pres More...

I liked the idea of this book better than the book itself. The author's choppy writing style and overzealous use of headings is distracting. And I suppose the cynic in me just kept thinking, "Yeah, if I could walk on water and raise the dead, people would probably subscribe to my brand of leadership too." Cynical - yes, I know. But, on the other hand, the author makes very good points about Jesus's dedication to and love for his disciples. Jesus was much more people-focused, consi More...

This is one of the worst written books I have ever come across. The title sucks you in and you think you are going to get a book full of leadership qualities demonstrated from Jesus Christ. Unfortunately, 85% of the chapters went like this: Jesus was "Believed in them." Then an example or two from her own life or someone she has heard about. Then the chapter ends stating "so now you can see how Jesus beleived in them.

The only thing I felt was worth taking away fr More...

I had to read this book (for whatever reason) for my American History class. I got through 2/3 of it and decided I didn't need to finish it to write my paper--I could get everything I needed from the chapter headings.

I thought Jones' writing style was terrible and her theology inconsistent and a faulty representation of the Bible. I also came away thinking that if you cut out all the Biblical references she could have truthfully called the book "What I Learned About Being A Lead

This book I would definitely add to my library. This book is written in 1995 but I can still walk away with many of these concepts on leadership, visionary, and Jesus' concept on discipleship.

So many great quotes that I shared in my Christian groups on FB. "Jesus said, "I give you my name. Use it." We do as believers--"in Jesus name." We claim it and name it, in His name. Yes, blessed by this book. Use your gifts and make disciples of Jesus Christ.

I loved Jones' The Path, but this offering didn't have the same impact on me. Perhaps because I read through it fairly quickly and didn't leave adequate time to let it sink in. There are questions and exercises at the end of each chapter - some were helpful, others less so. Chapters are short and lend themselves to quick reading over lunch or during a break. Overall solid, but became tedious toward the end.

If I was a business owner, this audio may have been much more beneficial. However, it's a very motivating story for anyone who has a leadership role in their career.
