Love this series!! It has really helped shape my thinking about leadership and what it means to honor Christ. While I am only a teenager right now, these short but powerful books have been helpful in understanding how other people look up to me. Dr. Tim Elmore is a simple writer who seeks to make his works easy to understand. Highly recommend for those wondering what it looks like to be a leader in the workplace, at home, or in the church!

*For a class

Tim Elmore has some good insights into leadership. His Habitudes have become a staple in the Christian leadership environment. Unfortunately, his books are incredibly short and should really just be consolidate into one book.

While the images were interesting and the way that he tied it into the Bible is fascinating, his pithy delivery and lack of length really makes this feel like a series of blog posts as opposed to a book.

However, the good morals of the Habitudes outweigh any of their deficiencies. The lessons in this book(particularly the one of "Big Rocks First") and in the other Habitudes books are lessons every leaders should learn. I still think that "How to Win Friends and Influence People" is more effective at conveying leadership skills, this book is still worth the read if you really want to know leadership. 5.0 out of 10.

Again this short book looks at word pictures that illustrate leadership principles. "I believe everyone deserves a chance to change their obituary in the middle of their life." Alfred Noble I liked this quote from the last pages of the book.
