I must confess that I did not want to read another book on
leadership when I received this book. Since training leaders has been a big part
of my ministry, I have read dozens and dozens of books on leadership, and even
did my dissertation on the topic. There are some really good books and some not
so good books on the topic; some written from a
distinctly Christian position and some not necessarily from that point.
However. because of my appreciation for Harry Reeder, I read
The Leadership Dynamic and immediately concluded that this book needs to be
the basic book for Leadership 101, 102, and 103. Reeder is right on the mark
when he contends that healthy churches must have healthy leaders. Reeder's
desire is for leaders who know their mission, who are unalterably committed to
achieving it by God's grace, who take c are of their people, and who
intentionally produce leaders. I react positively to those things and also to
the way the book connects training leaders with discipleship. I have the same
reaction when I read that leaders must be grace-driven with a disciplined
lifestyle.
Reeder’s 3-D Leadership paradigm of define, develop and
deploy gives a good context for all the specifics in the book. Because one of
the main points in the book is to train and disciple leaders and potential
leaders, this book will be a valuable tool for a pastor to have and use in
discipling church leaders. My recommendation is to read it and use it in the
process.
As I was reading the book, I also gleaned another entitled
When Leadership and Discipleship Collide, by Bill Hybels. Hybels is right;
there are times when various approaches to leadership collide. Do we use the
American business model, or a strictly biblical model, or what? Reeder gives an
excellent balance that incorporates the biblical principles of leadership with
good, common sense application. Again my reaction and appreciation for this book
centers around its concept that leadership is connected to making kingdom
disciples, for that is what “world-shaking leaders look like,” where they come
from, and what they would do.
