Edging Towards a Course on Leadership

I just finished reading John Dickson's new-ish book on leadership, Humilitas. True to form, it reads as easily as an article in Dolly. But--I should be quick to make the contrast--Humilitas actually has substance.

Loved it. I reckon I'll make it the 'set text' for a course on leadership that I'm developing at the moment.

Incidentally, it's not one of those 'Christian books', either. Dickson's self-awareness shines through even as he points to Jesus (among many, many others) as exemplar of humility. I'd recommend it for anyone looking to review their own role and character as a leader.

The other contender for a 'set text': Carson's The Cross and Christian Ministry.
