The Three Tasks of Leadership

This book unpacks business leader Max De Pree's famous definition of leadership — originally given for the business world — and applies it to the church. Eighteen theologians and pastors here offer essays echoing that definition. The Three Tasks of Leadership is refreshingly free of jargon, full of practical and inspirational advice, and perfect for both pastors in the field and pastors in formation. / Contributors: David Augsburger, Robert Banks, James E.
