Practicing Greatness: Seven Disciplines of Spiritual Leaders

Author: Reggie McNeal
Publisher: A Leadership Network Publication

This book is practical and powerful for anyone who aspires to move from being a good leader to being a great leader. Reggie McNeal presents a laser-focused treatment of the essence of great leadership, and the seven spiritual disciplines required of great leaders. In my opinion, this book is a must-read for anyone who desires to reach a higher level of commitment and excellence in leadership. As I read this book, it seemed as though every chapter was written with me in mind. McNeal shows how great spiritual leaders are committed to certain "habits of the heart and mind." I highly recommend this book for every person thinking about becoming a minister, or considering serving in a leadership role in the local church. It is a book that focuses on both the character, and the competence of great leaders.
