With God's help, you can rebuild it, even if you didn't break it.
While Chasteen is very clearly writing specifically to people who are taking over something, in general this book holds great leadership principles. I find often that leadership books sometimes feel very repetitive and what could’ve been said succinctly, gets drawn out and pulverized. This never felt that way. There was a clear direction, with clear points, Scripture to back up what was said. I had never thought of the term “re-leader” before but found it very valuable, especially pursuing ministry full time and recognizing that will be my role and so much of this applicable. I really enjoyed this book, was challenged by it, and found it very thought provoking!
Wow! Excellent read! My husband could have written this book. We have lived it. Several times. 😛 My husband IS a ReLeader for sure. Although this is written about “releading” a church after a failed ministry it is definitely applicable to companies, jobs, marriages, relationships, etc.
If you are in a any type of leadership role or have a desire for one I cannot recommend this book enough. This book gave me such a new perspective in leading.
