Summary

What type of leadership is needed in a moment that demands adaptive change? Tod Bolsinger, author of Canoeing the Mountains, is uniquely positioned to explore the qualities of adaptive leadership in contexts ranging from churches to nonprofit organizations. He deftly examines both the external challenges we face and the internal resistance that holds us back.

Bolsinger writes: "To temper describes the process of heating, holding, hammering, cooling, and reheating that adds stress to raw iron until it becomes a glistening knife blade or chisel tip."

When reflection and relationships are combined into a life of deliberate practice, leaders become both stronger and more flexible. As a result, these resilient leaders are able to offer greater wisdom and skill to the organizations they serve.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your leadership lessons with the world. I am very grateful for how you have contextualized adaptive leadership and its practices for a Christian audience. I haven’t seen this elsewhere, and so I see both this book and canoeing the mountains as a seminal leadership text that helps to lead and guide the work of leaders around the world. Thank you for taking the time to out your learning into words for us to reflect and learn from.

Excellent leadership book
