Waar de 'dark side', ofwel schaduwzijde van onze persoonlijkheid in eerste instantie een negatief beeld oproept, heeft de ontdekking en behandeling, leren overwinningen behalen op grote voordelen. De schrijvers illustreren beide mogelijke reacties (laten ontwikkelingen van de dark side als het weerstaan en overwinnen ervan) met diverse voorbeelden van (christelijke) leiders, Amerikaanse presidenten en hun eigen levensverhalen.

Un amigo me regalo este libro para el día de mi cumpleaños. En ese momento me encontraba terminado otro libro así que puse este en "fila". Hace cinco días comencé a leerlo, desde el prologo reconocí el valor de este libro y cuánto iba a agregar valor en mi vida. Tanto que en cuestión de cinco días lo leí completamente.

An amazing book on the paradox of your personality in leading others. Premise of the book: As you lead through your strengths, these same strengths can be your greatest weaknesses, or "dark sides." So what do you do? McIntosh provides insights in redeeming the dark sides in Christ and through introspective work as well as the power of the Holy Spirit, you can become a more complete leader in Christ.
This is a book every leader should read.

I agree with the overall premise of this book: each person has a dark side that has been developed (consciously or unconsciously) over the years. This dark side can drive a person to greatness or destroy a person.
However, I did not find this book incredibly helpful in discovering my dark side. If you want a good tool for this learn about the Enneagram. It's far more useful and comprehensive.

As imperfect humans, we all have needs and hurts which if not recognized and dealt with can lead to misuse of the power that comes with leadership and lead to the downfall of ministry.
The book explores: compulsive leader, narcissistic, paranoid, codependent and passive-aggressive leadership styles.

I read this book again. This time it really hit home. It caused me to take a hard look at some of my behaviors and ask myself "Why am I doing that?" A great read for the person who doesn't mind allowing God to pull away the smoke and mirrors.

Talbot Course: Biblical Leadership and Management
What a great title! The book addresses a lot of relevant pitfalls when it comes to leadership, but it's a bit "lightweight". You're left asking yourself, "Ok, so how exactly do I overcome the Dark Side?"

This book will make you reflect inwardly and deeply. The process revealed my early programming and made me angry, but you can bet I am doing something about it now!

I don't think McIntosh and Rima knew as much about human behavior as they would like to believe.
