Tall Poppy: How to Lead Without Losing Your Head (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781426752841)

In New Zealand, they have a saying: "Keep a low profile or, like the tall poppy, stand tall and get your head cut off." While there are risks to standing out, there are also benefits: tall poppies have the best view and are positioned to have the clearest vision of the horizon. This practical book helps you weigh the costs and benefits of your leadership as you assess your own situation. It shows you how to move forward through inevitable conflict, while attending to the landmines and hazards of congregational life. After reading this book, you will lead with more confidence, better able to keep the vision and avoid distraction of immediate crises.
