Book Review: Leaders Eat Last by Simon Sinek

Leaders Eat Last by Simon Sinek
Did you know that to be a great leader and team player you needed to understand boby chemicals and biology? I had no idea!!
Simon writes about leadership by recentering People and Relationships. He urgues us to strive to be the leaders we wish we had.
Drawing from real life stories and scenarios, the author brings to life the consequences of human behavior over time and space and shows that disregarding people will always lead to a downfall, sooner or later.
Simon defines Integrity as when our words and deeds are consistent with our intentions and that every leader needs it. The world needs, more than ever before, leaders who have integrity.
Two extracts from the book :
1. "it is not the work we remember with fondness, but the camaraderie, how the group came together to get the things done. And the reason is natural. In an effort to get us to help one another during times of struggle, our bodies release oxytocin. In other words, when we share the hardship, we biologically grow closer."
2. " Leadership is not a license to do less ; it is a responsibility to do more. And that's the trouble. Leadership takes work. It takes time and energy. The effects are not always easily measured and they are not always immediate. Leadership is always a commitment to human beings"
Read it and be inspired.

The Spirit-Led Leader by Timothy C. Geoffrion

After prayerfully reading this book, “Leadership beyond human striving” would be a great summary to this profound call to be Spirit-Led Leaders! Timothy opens us to his own personal journey to become a Spirit-led leader. He graciously shares his struggles along this journey and openly confesses that he is still on the journey to be a better Spirit-led leader day after day. In a world where all processes and methods are being systematized, where leadership has been made to become an art and science that anyone can learn without the help of spirituality, the author recaptures the importance of integrating spirituality in our every-day leadership, which he argues should stem from our personal and yielded walk with God and surrender to his Spirit. The author essentially shows that our relationship with God should inform and empower all we are given to do. As Spirit-led leaders, every aspect of our leadership should be influenced by our sense of connection to God. This is leading while bein...

Image
For many people, Honor is one of the most confusing notions and practice among people and especially in the body of Christ. How do you differentiate between honoring and worshiping or flattering people? Should we prevent people from practicing honor because of some abuses of the principle by ill-intentioned people?
