21 Laws of Leadership in the Bible: Learning to Lead from the Men and Women of Scripture
by John C. MaxwellWhere do most people today turn for leadership? Some examine the world of politics. Some look for models in the entertainment industry. Many look to the world of business—to the successful stories of CEOs, management consultants, and theoreticians with PhDs. However, the truth is that the best source of leadership teaching today comes not from any of these sources but from the one true source: the Word of God. The Bible is the greatest source on leadership that has ever been written.John Maxwell has spent decades researching and equipping others for leadership, and his primary source of leadership principles has always been the Word of God. In this study, he draws on the stories of the men and women in Scripture to show how they demonstrated what he calls "the 21 irrefutable laws of leadership." He also shows how some of the characters in the Bible failed to portray these leadership principles, and how that affected them and, in some cases, entire populations of people groups.Sessions include in-depth studies on the principles of leadership followed by men and women such as Moses, Joshua, Deborah, Ruth, David, Elijah, Josiah, Esther, Nehemiah, Peter, Barnabas, and especially Jesus. Each session contains the following sections:The Law: An overview of the law and how it operates (includes quotes from the book and discussion questions based on the principles covered)Biblical example: An overview of the primary character in the Bible who demonstrated that law or wrote about that lawAnother look: Bible study questions based on the highlighted passagesHighlighting the lesson: Questions that focus on the central teaching pointsLasting implications: Questions to help draw out personal conclusionsDaily assignments: Five sets of questions that guide readers on how to put the laws into effect during their weekThis study has been designed to enhance readers' experience of working through John Maxwell's leadership materials and is intended both for individual use and for small groups.
21 Leadership Issues in the Bible: Life-Changing Lessons from Leaders in Scripture
by John C. MaxwellWHAT’S CHALLENGING YOUR LEADERSHIP? THE BIBLE HAS AN ANSWER!If you’re trying to influence even one person, you are a leader. And that means you’re facing challenges. The more you lead, the greater the number of challenges you face. How do you solve them?Dr. John C. Maxwell has been exploring these issues and helping leaders with them for decades. Where did Maxwell, recently named the #1 leadership and management expert in the world by Inc. magazine, gain such insight into leadership? From the Bible! John asserts that the Bible is the greatest leadership book that has ever been written.In this study, John addresses twenty-one of the most common issues leaders face. Starting with internal issues such as identity, purpose, pride, and self-leadership, and moving on to others such as criticism, change, diversity, teamwork and recruiting, John shows how leaders in the Bible addressed these issues with boldness and clarity, or, conversely, how they failed to lead. Either way, the lessons are clear. You can improve your leadership for not only your own sake, but also for that of your team and those you serve.In this twenty-one lesson study, John guides you through Scriptures that reveal the challenges leaders face and the solutions available to them. Each lesson includes:THE ISSUE DEFINED: a brief description and introduction to the Issue CASE STUDIES: THREE BIBLICAL STUDIES: including leaders such as Joseph, Moses, Ruth, David, Nehemiah, Peter, Titus, and Jesus—that reveal and illustrate the IssueSTUDY QUESTIONS: reflection and application questions to help you dig into the stories of the men and women in Scripture and learn from themLEADERSHIP INSIGHT AND REFLECTION: questions to help you assess and improve your own leadership skillsTAKING ACTION: practical takeaways and direction to help you incorporate each lesson into your daily lifeGROUP DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: questions to help you learn and process the Bible study material with other like-minded people who want to grow in leadershipStart with the issues where you most need help, complete the entire study as a course in problem solving, or meet with your team, using it as their next training in leadership development. 21 Leadership Issues in the Bible can help you become a better leader in any area of your life as you seek to influence others for Christ.
21 leyes del liderazgo en la Biblia: Aprenda a liderar de los hombres y mujeres de las Escrituras
by John C. Maxwell«Todo lo que sé sobre el liderazgo lo aprendí de la Biblia».Cuando el autor best seller John C. Maxwell comenzó a enseñar liderazgo a personas en la iglesia, a menudo se sorprendieron. Era obvio que era joven e inexperto, pero las ideas que transmitía parecían ir más allá de lo que debería saber. Más tarde, cuando comenzó a hablar a un público más general, la gente preguntó: «¿Dónde aprendió usted todo esto?».John estaba feliz de contarles su secreto: todo lo que sabía sobre el liderazgo lo aprendió de la Biblia. La Biblia no solo es el mejor libro jamás escrito, sino que es el mejor libro sobre el liderazgo jamás escrito. Todo lo que pueda desear aprender sobre el liderazgo (visión, propósito, estrategia, comunicación, actitud, aliento, mentoría, seguimiento) se puede encontrar en las páginas de la Palabra de Dios.En este estudio de veintiuna lecciones, John lo guía a través de las mismas escrituras fundamentales que han formado la base del trabajo de su vida. Cada lección incluye:• La definición de la ley: una breve descripción e introducción a la ley.• Estudios de casos: tres estudios bíblicos, incluyendo líderes como Moisés, Josué, David, Elías, Ester, María, Pablo y Jesús, que revelan e ilustran la ley.• Preguntas de estudio: preguntas de reflexión y aplicación para ayudarlo a profundizar en las historias de los hombres y mujeres en las Escrituras y aprender de ellas.• Perspicacia y reflexión del liderazgo: preguntas para ayudarlo a evaluar y mejorar sus propias habilidades de liderazgo.• Cómo llevar a la acción: lecciones prácticas y orientación para ayudarlo a incorporar cada lección en su vida diaria.• Preguntas de discusión en grupo: preguntas para ayudarlo a aprender y procesar el material de estudio de la Biblia con otras personas de ideas afines que desean crecer en liderazgo.• El liderazgo es para todos, porque cada persona que acepta a Cristo está llamada a influir en los demás. Así que aprenda de los mejores líderes que han vivido: los hombres y las mujeres en la Biblia.
