Where do most people today turn for leadership? Some examine the world of politics. Some look for models in the entertainment industry. Many look to the world of business—to the successful stories of CEOs, management consultants, and theoreticians with PhDs. However, the truth is that the best source of leadership teaching today comes not from any of these sources but from the one true source: the Word of God. The Bible is the greatest source on leadership that has ever been written. John Maxwell has spent decades researching and equipping others for leadership, and his primary source of leadership principles has always been the Word of God. In this study, he draws on the stories of the men and women in Scripture to show how they demonstrated what he calls "the 21 irrefutable laws of leadership." He also shows how some of the characters in the Bible failed to portray these leadership principles, and how that affected them and, in some cases, entire populations of people groups. Sessions include in-depth studies on the principles of leadership followed by men and women such as Moses, Joshua, Deborah, Ruth, David, Elijah, Josiah, Esther, Nehemiah, Peter, Barnabas, and especially Jesus. Each session contains the following sections: The Law: An overview of the law and how it operates (includes quotes from the book and discussion questions based on the principles covered) Biblical example: An overview of the primary character in the Bible who demonstrated that law or wrote about that law Another look: Bible study questions based on the highlighted passages Highlighting the lesson: Questions that focus on the central teaching points Lasting implications: Questions to help draw out personal conclusions Daily assignments: Five sets of questions that guide readers on how to put the laws into effect during their week This study has been designed to enhance readers' experience of working through John Maxwell's leadership materials and is intended both for individual use and for small groups.
Où la plupart des gens se tournent-ils aujourd'hui pour trouver des dirigeants ? Certains examinent le monde de la politique. D'autres cherchent des modèles dans l'industrie du divertissement. Beaucoup se tournent vers le monde des affaires, vers les histoires à succès des PDG, des consultants en gestion et des théoriciens titulaires d'un doctorat. Cependant, la vérité est que la meilleure source d'enseignement sur le leadership aujourd'hui ne provient d'aucune de ces sources, mais de la seule véritable source : la Parole de Dieu. La Bible est la meilleure source sur le leadership qui ait jamais été écrite. John Maxwell a passé des décennies à faire des recherches et à équiper les autres pour le leadership, et sa principale source de principes de leadership a toujours été la Parole de Dieu. Dans cette étude, il s'appuie sur les histoires des hommes et des femmes de l'Écriture pour montrer comment ils ont démontré ce qu'il appelle "les 21 lois irréfutables du leadership". Il montre également comment certains personnages de la Bible n'ont pas réussi à appliquer ces principes de leadership, et comment cela les a affectés et, dans certains cas, des populations entières de groupes humains. Les sessions comprennent des études approfondies sur les principes de leadership suivis par des hommes et des femmes tels que Moïse, Josué, Déborah, Ruth, David, Elie, Josias, Esther, Néhémie, Pierre, Barnabé et surtout Jésus.
