Through the Dust: Servant Leadership Using Jesus As an Example

Gunderson, Denny

What is the key to effective leadership? The ability to organize and take charge? The ability to preach and teach? Entrepreneurial skill? A charismatic personality? According to Jesus, none of the above. Jesus is unarguably the greatest leader the world has ever seen. His three years of public ministry in an obscure and troublesome corner of the Roman Empire not only irrevocably changed Roman civilization, but every other civilization that has subsequently emerged. Yet, remarkably, Jesus spoke very little about leadership and even less about how to attain it. Perhaps that is why many of today's corporate-driven churches prefer to draw upon the leadership styles of Moses, David, Nehemiah, or Paul. Denny Gunderson challenges us to think again. This refreshingly candid book draws us to the Master's side. From this vantage point, we observe Jesus through the eyes of people who experienced him firsthand. And through their eyes we discover surprising insights that will challenge us to rethink our leadership stereotypes.

The Leadership Paradox

Religious Studies

¿ La capacidad de organización y la aceptación de responsibilidad?¿ La capacidad para predicar y enseñar?¿ Las dotes empresariales?¿ Una personalidad carismática? Según Jesús, ninguna de las mencionadas. Jesús es, indiscutiblemente, el líder más grande que el mundo ha visto. Sus tres años de ministerio público en un rincón oscuro y conflictivo del imperio romano no sólo cambió irrevocablemente la civilización romana, sino todas las que después surgieron. Es notable, sin embargo, que Jesús hablara muy poco acerca del liderazgo e incluso menos de la forma de lograrlo. Tal vez sea esa la razón por la que muchas iglesias actuales gobernadas corporativamente prefieran imitar los estilos de liderazgo de Moisés, David, Nehemías o Pablo. Denny Gunderson nos invita a replantearnos esta cuestión. Esta libro franco y refrescante nos acerca al lado del Maestro. Desde esta posición ventajosa observamos a Jesús con los ojos de quienes lo trataron personalmente. A través de sus retinas descubrimos revelaciones sorprendentes que nos retan a replantearnos algunos estereotipos de liderazgo.
