Simply the best introductory leadership book out there. 

Leading Change
John Kotter
By far the best book on this topic out there. If you don’t care for all the business talk, check out its non-business cousin, Our Iceberg is Melting.

Bill gives dozens and dozens of 2-3 page pearls from his 30+ year experience leading in the toughest and highest stakes environment there is, the church.

The Servant
James Hunter
“A simple story about the true essence of leadership.” If lived out, a true game changer for you and those you lead.

How to Lead by the Book (Faith-based)
Dave Anderson
