About this listen

Are you hungry to help others through leadership but don't feel like you have the authority?

"If you're ready to lead right where you are, this book can show you how to start." - Dave Ramsey, #1 National bestselling author and host of The Ramsey Show.

One of the greatest myths of leadership is that you must be in charge in order to lead. Great leaders don't buy it. Great leaders--whether they have the official authority or not--learn how to be an influential presence wherever they are.

In How to Lead When You're Not in Charge, author and pastor Clay Scroggins explains the nature of leadership and what's needed to be a great leader--even when you answer to someone else.

Drawing from biblical principles and his experience as the lead pastor of Buckhead Church in Atlanta, Georgia, Clay will help you nurture your vision and cultivate influence with integrity and confidence, even when you lack authority in your organization or ministry.

In this book, Clay will walk you through the challenge of leadership and the four basic behaviors all great leaders have and how to cultivate them:

  • Leading yourself
  • Choosing positivity
  • Thinking critically
  • Rejecting passivity

With practical wisdom and humor, Clay Scroggins will help you free yourself to become the great leader you want to be so you can make a difference. Even when you're not in charge.

Should be listed under religious material. Quotes scripture and verse throughout. I'm actually disappointed. There is no question that should be answered with "Because God wants you to!" in this day and age. Particularly under this format.

Strong religious ideologies.

Should be listed as religious. By the title and the description this book sounds like it will be a great read helping people who really have the leadership qualities, but want to learn how to steward those by learning how to bring people along for the journey and influence. But this book sounds like a Sunday sermon about God’s purpose for our lives, somehow includes procreation, and doesn’t really have tangible tips for people still learning how to lead where they are at.

Was a good idea, and it seems like he had some really good books, but not applicable for those not looking to lead in a church setting. Which is contradictory to what he says in a later chapter believing that this would be applicable for everyone.

Less about Leading, and more about God’s purpose

beginning reading this book I found the concepts explained were absolutely great. the content however was explained in a catholic key that tries to convince you to read the bible and the old testament, in all honesty as an atheist i havnt appreciated this as it wasnt mentioned in the title which becomes misleading compared to the actual content.

Unannounced Christian motivations dulled the delivery and purpose of the content. Otherwise decipherable and enjoyable.

Separate Church from state
