On the Scrounge for Leadership Materials

Yesterday I gave my ol' friend and beloved mentor, Dave Thurston, a call. I mentioned that I'm working on a training course on leadership, and asked for his advice on resources to consult or use. From the top of his head, these were his picks:

• Sticky Teams
• Sticky Church
• The Five Dysfunctions of a Team
• 7 Practices of Effective Ministry - this was his #1.

I'm also looking forward to sinking my teeth into John Dickson's recent book, Humilitas, which a close mate gave me recently.

Wouldn't it be nice if our churches ran leadership training that was *so* good that we attracted non-church people along to learn to lead after the pattern of the servant-King? That's my dream.
