Lead
The later chapters of the gospel of John form some of the deepest and most moving accounts of all Scripture. They also describe in detail Jesus's final days on earth and His final instructions to His team as He prepared to hand on His ministry.
Karl Martin mines this incredibly rich vein of Scripture to draw lessons for leadership done Jesus's way. Leadership is about humility, about investing your life in your team, about facing betrayal, about dying to self, and about succession. Ultimately, true leadership is not about seeing others serve your dream--it's about seeing others released into the dreams, gifting, and calling that the Lord has placed on their lives. It is about something beyond you.
This deceptively profound, honest, and practical book gives great insight for leaders--challenge for younger leaders, encouragement for midlife leaders, and refreshment for mature leaders.

Really great book on Christian leadership. Very good principles written by someone who has obviously learnt them through experience.

I recommend this in audiobook! I love his voice and it's very soothing.. easier to absorb the teaching.

This review was first featured by the publisher, Muddy Pearl, on their web site, back in December 2020, a time when the world of politics was in turmoil on both sides of the Atlantic. Has much changed in a year ?
On reading the excellent book “Lead”, by Karl Martin, I could not help but think ... Where are the Leaders? Over the last few months I have found myself wanting to shout at the TV almost every day. It’s the news. They report turmoil, but I find myself despairing. “Where are the leaders?”...

The introduction is way too all-over-the-place and unstructured for me (almost made me lay away the book). But when the real parts start, it is a thorough journey through the various aspects of leaderships, bound to the story of Jesus.
Though mostly applicable for church leaders, many lessons can be taken away for business leaders as well.
