    About this audiobook

    Helps Christian leaders understand how to provide effective leadership by highlighting five qualities that characterized the leadership style of Jesus.

    Bill Robinson presents convincing arguments that when leaders emulate these qualities, they will inspire and empower the people they have been called to lead. Reflection and discussion questions and assessment questions make this ideal for group use. Conversational in tone and seasoned with real-life stories from his own successes and failures as a leader, Robinson helps Christian leaders wrestle with four questions that emerge from John's introduction of Jesus, "and the word became flesh and dwelt among us…."

    • Jesus dwelt with those he led, how can I be closer to those I lead?
    • Jesus disciples beheld him, how can I be more transparent with those I lead?
    • The glory of Jesus was a reflection of his father, am I seeking my own glory?
    • Jesus led with grace and truth, how can I lead with grace and truth?

    Incarnate Leadership is indispensable reading for anyone in a position of leadership – whether in a church setting, corporation, school board, or home. The book is packaged as a short one-evening read, similar to other popular business books.

    • 5/5
      This was one of the beat books on leadership that I’ve ever read. Excellent!
    • 4/5
      Robinson has brief, and largely well established, leadership advice. He speaks of openness, sacrifice, accessibility, and grace. He uses the model of Jesus to demonstrate the closeness of these principles to His heart. He also uses many personal illustrations of the principles. His illustrations draw on politics, business and sports to show their practicability. The grace he espouses goes down easy in a Christian culture that deplores the images of power.People of power, fame and wealth are subjectively blind to their own judgement. I am inclined to think that the best leadership books have yet to be written, by great followers who recogngnize and understand leaders better than those who believe their own personalities are possible to anyone. It may be true, but if it is transferable, it has to be explained by someone who can objectively quantify it. Although, Robinson's analysis is true, I get the impression that it will only partially work for others.The leader is well advised to follow Robinson's advice on openness. A culture of disclosure at least has the capacity to breed trust. Such an environment is also more likely to value honesty. Good virtues at any level.
