The First Thing Every Leader Should Do: Leadership Lessons for Changing Churches (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780998824949)

"Leadership - the ability of an individual, group or organization
to guide other individuals, groups, or organizations." That Wikipedia definition is broad but accurate. We are all leaders. Intentionally or unintentionally, rightly or wrongly, like it or not- we are all leaders. Whether it's leading a single family or leading a single company. Whether it's providing an example for our students or providing manuals for our employees. We are all leaders.

Adapted from his popular leadership blog series, Dr. Jesse Wilson addresses the most difficult and complex of all leadership-church leadership. In this age of complexity, it has never been more challenging to lead a Christian organization or live a Christian life. This book provides practical tools from one of the leading voices in Christian leadership today.

Out of his broad experience as pastor, evangelist, conference administrator, and university professor, Dr. Wilson brings a fresh perspective to age old leadership challenges.

With a quick wit and easy style, Dr. Wilson tackles topics such as:
- 3 Words That Could Cripple The Race Crisis
- Cursing Christians-Can Good People Say Bad Things?
- Camp Meetings: Here To Stay or Time to Go?
- When Should We Close a Local Church?
- Trick or Treat Should Christians Celebrate Halloween?
- Everything that Shouts Ain't Pentecostal

From start to finish you will be blessed with practical wisdom to make you a more effective leader at home, at work, and at church.
