WHAT’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:
<ul>
<li>
THE ISSUE DEFINED: a brief description and introduction to the Issue </li>
<li>
CASE STUDIES: THREE BIBLICAL STUDIES: including leaders such as Joseph, Moses, Ruth, David, Nehemiah, Peter, Titus, and Jesus—that reveal and illustrate the Issue</li>
<li>
STUDY QUESTIONS: reflection and application questions to help you dig into the stories of the men and women in Scripture and learn from them</li>
<li>
LEADERSHIP INSIGHT AND REFLECTION: questions to help you assess and improve your own leadership skills</li>
<li>
TAKING ACTION: practical takeaways and direction to help you incorporate each lesson into your daily life</li>
<li>
GROUP DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: questions to help you learn and process the Bible study material with other like-minded people who want to grow in leadership</li>
</ul>
Start 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.

“Everything I Know About Leadership I Learned From the Bible.”
When bestselling author John C. Maxwell first began teaching leadership to people in the church, they were often surprised. He was clearly young and inexperienced, yet the ideas he conveyed seemed to go beyond what he should know. Later, when he started speaking to a more general audience, people asked, “Where did you learn all this?”
John was happy to let them in on his secret: everything he knew about leadership he learned from the Bible. Not only is the Bible the greatest book ever written, but it is the greatest leadership book ever written. Everything you could ever want to learn about leadership–vision, purpose, strategy, communication, attitude, encouragement, mentoring, follow-through–can be found in the pages of God’s Word.
In this twenty-one lesson study, John guides you through the same bedrock Scriptures that have formed the basis of his life’s work. Each lesson includes:
<ul>
<li>The Definition of the Law: a brief description and introduction to the Law</li>
<li>Case Studies: Three Biblical Studies–including leaders such as Moses, Joshua, David, Elijah, Esther, Mary, Paul, and Jesus–that reveal and illustrate the Law</li>
<li>Study Questions: reflection and application questions to help you dig into the stories of the men and women in Scripture and learn from them</li>
<li>Leadership Insight and Reflection: questions to help you assess and improve your own leadership skills</li>
<li>Taking Action: practical takeaways and direction to help you incorporate each lesson into your daily life</li>
<li>Group Discussion Questions: questions to help you learn and process the Bible study material with other like-minded people who want to grow in leadership</li>
</ul>
Leadership is for everyone, because every person who accepts Christ is called to influence others. So learn from the best leaders who ever lived–the men and women in the Bible.

21 Qualities of Leaders in the Bible: Key Leadership Traits of the Men and Women in Scripture

Twenty-five years ago, John C. Maxwell published the book that forever transformed how people think about leadership.

And if you’re going through this process with a group, you’ll enjoy the challenging discussion questions at the end of each lesson so you can explore the ideas in even greater depth.

Lead-er-shift [verb]: The act of nimbly adapting one’s leadership in the midst of rapid change.
The term leadershift may be new to you, but the climate of change that demands it is not. As a leader, you already know that it takes more than staying the course to be successful. The key to not just surviving but to continual innovation, improvement, and influence is to learn how to leadershift.
In the Leadershift Workbook, based on the bestselling book of the same name, author John C. Maxwell helps leaders make the changes the current fast-paced environment demands. He begins by helping leaders embrace seven principles to face every situation with flexibility and confidence:
<ol>
<li>Continually learn, unlearn, and relearn</li>
<li>Value yesterday, but live in today</li>
<li>Rely on speed, but thrive on timing</li>
<li>See the big picture as the picture keeps getting bigger</li>
<li>Live in today, but think about tomorrow</li>
<li>Move forward courageously in the midst of uncertainty</li>
<li>Realize today’s best will not meet tomorrow’s challenges</li>
</ol>
In each of the lessons in this workbook, John shares the critical shifts he has personally made over the course of his long and successful leadership career, including the Adaptive Shift from Plan A to Option A, the Production Shift from Ladder Climbing to Ladder Building, and the Influence Shift from Positional Authority to Moral Authority. These leadershifts will change the way you think, act, and ultimately lead so you can be proactive and successful in an ever-changing world.
