Tim Keel's Intuitive Leadership

I'm really digging Tim's book on leadership. I'm not done. But I like it so far.
It reads like a familiar voice.
It feels like someone is writing the words I've felt for sometime.
Some of the things he's writing I've put words to.
Some I haven't.

There are some chunks of the book that are rich. Think the quadruple cholocalate cake rich. Think intensity of flavor.

It's a book on leadership that a lot of folks won't read unfortunately. The reason they won't read it?

Because the first two chapters are simply Tim's Story. This breaks the mold of traditional leadership books. Hearing the author's story to some will feel as if the author is self-indulgent. they will be looking for principles. 21 irrefutable principles. or 7 habits or maybe a purple cow.

Leadership is always subjective. It's always contextual. principles are fine. but today's pastor's need to learn to listen to their lives and their context.

Tim doesn't come out with principles blazing.
He starts with his story. Then he talks about being a leader out of your story.

I'm going to keep reading.
Go buy it.
