The Choice by Gary G. Hoag, R. Scott Rodin & Wesley K. Willmer
This book is about recalculating the route for Christ-centered ministry. Its underlying assumption is that far too many churches and ministries operate according to unexamined presuppositions that drive everything they do.
This book may call each of us to make changes both personally and professionally, so chapter seven includes a study guide and resources for pursuing kingdom outcomes. These practical tools have been included to help Christ-followers understand and apply the principles in this book individually, in small groups, as well as in larger ministry settings.
“Gary Hoag, Scott Rodin, and Wes Willmer have written an essential resource – a stewardship kit – for every pastor and ministry leader who is tired of ‘doing it themselves to death.’ The Choice is a clear, concise, practical, and applicable manual that demonstrates how to create development strategies that focus on faithfulness and results focused on eternity,” said Melinda Delahoyde, VP of Strategic Advancement and Partnerships, Life International

The Sower by R. Scott Rodin & Gary G. Hoag
This book was written to provide momentum for a movement aimed at the heart of every person involved in the process of raising resources or giving money for the work of God’s Kingdom. You may be a full-time development officer, an executive director, a pastor, a president, a board member, a volunteer, or a faithful giver. You may have decades of experience in fund development, or this may be the first thing you have ever read on this topic. Regardless, if you care about giving or raising resources for God’s work using a biblical perspective, this book is written for you.
“Tired of raising money and wish you could focus on developing people who love God and give generously out of their love relationship? Rodin and Hoag provide a thoroughly biblical foundation and reorientation for our approach to fundraising. They show us that God wants us to stop focusing on raising money and to start discipling people to become godly stewards. Additionally, this book is filled with wise, practical advice for how to make this shift. The distinction between God’s role and our responsibilities will set you free and allow you to discover what could become the most meaningful season of our work,” said G. Craig Williford, Ph.D., President, Trinity International University
The Council by Gary G. Hoag, Wesley K. Willmer & Gregory J Henson
This book was written to answer the question, “What does the Bible say about board governance?” because the authors believe that followers of Jesus Christ who serve in board governance settings must start with the Scriptures. We must understand and adopt a biblically based mindset to position our Christian faith to inform and transform our thinking on oversight, just like it shapes every other aspect of life.
“The Council is very relevant for any ministry today. Too often, we overlook biblical texts which are able to give us perspective on how to manage and govern as faithful stewards in God’s mission. I highly recommend this book to board members and ministry administrators wanting to learn more about how God wants us to establish better governance practices. It should be required reading for any new board member, too. Thank you for putting this resource in the hands of the Church!” said Nydia R. Garcia-Schmidt, Wycliffe Global Alliance, Americas Area Director; Board Member, Barnabas International
Trust by Dan Busby
In the words of Dan Busby, the author, “Looking back on a career of serving Christ-centered ministries, I have often observed the ebb and flow of trust and how the presence or absence of trust impacts ministries.
The power of trust—trust that a ministry is reliable, good, and honest—based on the truth of God’s Word is undeniable. Christ-centered ministries positively impact the lives of millions of people every day. As these ministries experience high trust, their impact grows exponentially. Trust changes everything.
From God’s perspective, trust—even in small things—results in greater responsibilities (Luke 19:12–27). Trust elevates Kingdom responsibilities and outcomes. Without trust as defined in God’s Word, our efforts for the King are impaired. Trust is essential.”

The Myth of the Strong Leader: Political Leadership in the Modern Age by Archie Brown
Brief Summary
In this magisterial and wide-ranging survey of political leadership over the past hundred years, Archie Brown challenges the widespread belief that strong leaders - those who dominate their colleagues and the policy-making process - are the most successful and admirable.
Within authoritarian regimes, a more collective leadership is a lesser evil compared with personal dictatorship where cultivation of the myth of the strong leader is often a prelude to oppression and carnage. Within democracies, although 'strong leaders' are seldom as strong or independent as they purport to be, the idea that one person is entitled to take the big decisions is dangerous nonetheless, and the advantages of a collegial style of leadership are too often overlooked.
In reality, only a minority of political leaders make a big difference, by challenging assumptions about the politically possible or setting in motion systemic change. Yet in a democracy that is rare. It is especially when enlightened leaders acquire power in an authoritarian system that the opportunity for radical transformation occurs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt and Lyndon B. Johnson, Willy Brandt and Mikhail Gorbachev, Deng Xiaoping and Nelson Mandela, Margaret Thatcher and Tony Blair are among the leaders whom Brown examines in this original and illuminating study.
Braving the Wilderness by Brene Brown
"True belonging doesn't require us to change who we are. It requires us to be who we are." Social scientist Brene Brown, PhD, LMSW, has sparked a global conversation about the experiences that bring meaning to our lives--experiences of courage, vulnerability, love, belonging, shame, and empathy.
In Braving the Wilderness, Brown redefines what it means to truly belong in an age of increased polarization. With her trademark mix of research, storytelling, and honesty, Brown will again change the cultural conversation while mapping a clear path to true belonging.
Brown argues that we're experiencing a spiritual crisis of disconnection, and introduces four practices of true belonging that challenge everything we believe about ourselves and each other. She writes, "True belonging requires us to believe in and belong to ourselves so fully that we can find sacredness both in being a part of something and in standing alone when necessary. But in a culture that's rife with perfectionism and pleasing, and with the erosion of civility, it's easy to stay quiet, hide in our ideological bunkers, or fit in rather than show up as our true selves and brave the wilderness of uncertainty and criticism.
But true belonging is not something we negotiate or accomplish with others; it's a daily practice that demands integrity and authenticity. It's a personal commitment that we carry in our hearts." Brown offers us the clarity and courage we need to find our way back to ourselves and to each other. And that path cuts right through the wilderness. Brown writes, "The wilderness is an untamed, unpredictable place of solitude and searching. It is a place as dangerous as it is breathtaking, a place as sought after as it is feared. But it turns out to be the place of true belonging, and it's the bravest and most sacred place you will ever stand."
The Leadership Pipeline: How to Build the Leadership Powered Company by Ram Charan, Stephen Drotter and James Noel
The Leadership Pipeline: How to Build the Leadership-Powered Company.
Together, these authors have more first-hand experience in leadership development and succession planning than you're likely to find anywhere else. And here, they show companies how to create a pipeline of talent that will continuously fill their leadership needs-needs they may not even yet realize.
The Leadership Pipeline delivers a proven framework for priming future leaders by planning for their development, coaching them, and measuring the results of those efforts. Moreover, the book presents a combination leadership-development/succession-planning program that ensures a steady line-up of leaders for every critical position within the company.
It's an approach that bolsters the retention of intellectual capital as it eliminates the need to go outside for expensive "stars," who will probably jump ship before they reach their full potential anyway.

Carlo Ancelotti is one of the greatest managers of all time. With three Champions League trophies, and multiple league and cup titles from AC Milan to Chelsea to Real Madrid, his record is second to none.

Why Should Anyone Be Led by You by Rob Goffee and Gareth Jones
Brief Summary
Why Should Anyone Be Led by You? With a New Preface by the Authors: What It Takes to Be an Authentic Leader.
Are you an authentic leader? Too many companies are managed not by leaders but by mere role players and faceless bureaucrats. What would it take to replace these empty suits with real leaders--men and women who are confident in who they are and what they stand for and who truly inspire people to achieve extraordinary results? Rob Goffee and Gareth Jones argue that leaders don't become great by aspiring to a list of universal character traits.
Rather, effective leaders are authentic: they deploy individual strengths to engage followers' hearts, minds, and souls. Authentic leaders are skillful at consistently being themselves, even as they alter their behavior to respond effectively to changing contexts. In short, the authors present a powerful case: that it takes "being yourself, in context, with skill" to be a successful, authentic leader--and they show you how to do exactly that.
In this lively and practical book, Goffee and Jones draw from extensive research to reveal how to hone and deploy your unique leadership assets while managing the inherent tensions at the heart of successful leadership: when to show emotion and when to withhold it, how to get close to followers while maintaining an appropriate role distance, and maintaining your individuality while "conforming enough" to gain traction and lead change.
Underscoring the inherently social nature of leadership, the book also explores how leaders can stay attuned to the needs and expectations of followers. Why Should Anyone Be Led by You? will forever change how we view, develop, and practice the art of leadership, wherever we live and work.
Dare to Lead by Brene Brown
Dare to Lead: Brave Work. Tough Conversations. Whole Hearts.
Leadership is not about titles, status, and wielding power. A leader is anyone who takes responsibility for recognizing the potential in people and ideas, and has the courage to develop that potential.
When we dare to lead, we don’t pretend to have the right answers; we stay curious and ask the right questions. We don’t see power as finite and hoard it; we know that power becomes infinite when we share it with others. We don’t avoid difficult conversations and situations; we lean into vulnerability when it’s necessary to do good work.
But daring leadership in a culture defined by scarcity, fear, and uncertainty requires skill-building around traits that are deeply and uniquely human. The irony is that we’re choosing not to invest in developing the hearts and minds of leaders at the exact same time as we’re scrambling to figure out what we have to offer that machines and AI can’t do better and faster. What can we do better? Empathy, connection, and courage, to start.
Four-time #1 New York Times bestselling author Brené Brown has spent the past two decades studying the emotions and experiences that give meaning to our lives, and the past seven years working with transformative leaders and teams spanning the globe. She found that leaders in organizations ranging from small entrepreneurial startups and family-owned businesses to nonprofits, civic organizations, and Fortune 50 companies all ask the same question:
How do you cultivate braver, more daring leaders, and how do you embed the value of courage in your culture?
In this new book, Brown uses research, stories, and examples to answer these questions in the no-BSstyle that millions of readers have come to expect and love.
Brown writes, "One of the most important findings of my career is that daring leadership is a collection of four skill sets that are 100 percent teachable, observable, and measurable. It’s learning and unlearning that requires brave work, tough conversations, and showing up with your whole heart. Easy? No. Because choosing courage over comfort is not always our default. Worth it? Always. We want to be brave with our lives and our work. It’s why we’re here.”
Whether you’ve read Daring Greatly and Rising Strong or you’re new to Brené Brown’s work, this book is for anyone who wants to step up and into brave leadership.
