“The more I read the Bible, the more evident it becomes that everything I have ever taught or written about effective leadership over the past 25 years, Jesus did to perfection. He is simply the greatest leadership role model of all time.” -Ken Blanchard
With simple yet profound principles from the life of Jesus and dozens of stories and leadership examples from his life experiences, veteran author, speaker and leadership expert Ken Blanchard guides readers through the process of discovering how to lead like Jesus. He describes it as the process of aligning two internal domains-the heart and the head-and two external domains-the hands and the habits. These four dimensions of leadership form the outline for this very practical and transformational book.

Potentially life-changing tips on success and leadership
By FaithfulReader.com
After selling fistfuls of Ken Blanchard’s co-authored runaway bestseller THE ONE MINUTE MANAGER when I ran a bookstore in the 1980s, I was curious to see what he had to say in LEAD LIKE JESUS. Since the wildly popular ONE MINUTE MANAGER, Blanchard had pumped out a prolific number of general market business books. After becoming a Christian, this one evinces how it affects his writing and his business/life philosophy.Getting started: Blanchard and Phil Hodges encourage readers to ask themselves three key questions: Am I a leader? Am I willing to follow Jesus as my leadership role model? How do I lead like Jesus?Perhaps this is a good time to define what the authors mean by “leader.” Anytime you seek to influence the thinking, behavior or development of people toward accomplishing a goal in their personal or professional lives, you are taking on the role of a “leader,” they write. In other words, you don’t have to be in business to benefit from this book. You might be a parent, a teacher, a nurse, a pastor, a coach, or an adult child helping her aging parents. There are differences between being a “life leader” (such as a parent) and an organizational leader (a manager in a company).Leaders are defined by how they use their influence, they say. If our instincts are self-promotion and self-protection, then we’ll use our influence to fulfill these needs. (Self-interest, they believe, is the most difficult obstacle we face in leading like Jesus). Conversely, if we are driven by service and dedication to a cause or a relationship, then we will model and encourage these values in others. They look at four domains of leading like Jesus — head, heart, hands and habits — and carefully unpack each one.For those business book readers who enjoy charts and diagrams, there are a few here that might appeal (although I didn’t find them particularly useful). Occasionally there’s a trite phrase that makes you wince (“By seeking to serve rather than be served as I lead others, I will make Jesus smile”) or a very bad pun (“Altaring” Your Leadership Ego). But these weak points are few in an otherwise strong book.The best moments are when the authors get practical rather than theoretical. Jesus welcomed disagreement and wasn’t afraid of it. (Do you welcome feedback? Find someone who will tell you the truth!) Address your own credibility as an individual before trying to improve things at an organizational level. (Is your security based on what others think?) Have you planned for a successor in your job? (Does that seem threatening?) There’s an excellent section on identifying pride and fear, and how it affects our ability to lead. Indeed, the examples of how pride and fear influence leadership are among the best parts of the book.Also helpful: a practical chart showing the four learning stages (novice, apprentice, journeyman, and master/teacher) and obstacles to success in each. There’s specific help; rather than just telling readers to get into an accountability group, the authors offer a specific model of what this would look like. Chapter end summaries, personal and fictional examples that flesh out the concepts, and invitations to reflect on various key points will aid in engaging more fully with and applying the material. (“List three things that are most likely to pull you off course.”)Both authors also state “rank-ordered values” for leading like Jesus. Honor God in everything you do. Build relationships based on trust and respect. Maintain integrity and excellence in programs and services. Practice responsible stewardship.The book is just the tip of the leadership iceberg, so it seems. Blanchard and Hodges have co-founded the Center for FaithWalk Leadership to teach the concepts to churches and organizations. According to their publisher, there’s also a Lead Like Jesus “movement” complete with a 2005 winter simulcast featuring leadership experts such as Laurie Beth Jones, Rick Warren, Dan Cathy, Don Soderquist, Bill Pollard, Mickey Blackwell and Rosey Grier.This is a meaty book that should be studied over a period of time rather than skimmed at a single reading. The concepts, if applied, could change the way leaders view their work, their relationships and their lives. — Reviewed by Cindy Crosby. Contact Cindy at phrelanzer@aol.com.

Best with Ken Blanchard’s name on it
By Tom Carpenter
I’ve enjoyed Ken Balnchards resources through the years, like the One Minute Manager, but I have to admit: I’m not a huge fan of the parable-only books. This book breaks from that tradition to provide a more standard learning format and is filled with amazingly valuable and life changing information.I loved the five habits in the chapter titled “The Habits of a Servant Leader”:1) Solitude2) Prayer3) Study and application of Scripture4) Accepting and responding to God’s unconditional love5) Involvement in supportive relationshipsI think “accepting and responding to God’s unconditional love” is a very big issue for many Christians today. Sometimes we forget that He loves us and cares for us – not the perfect us we’d like to be.I think you’ll enjoy this book, but you should know – as is obvious from the title – it certainly has a Christian slant to it. If this is fine with you – as it is with me, you’ll love the book.Tom Carpenter

A must read book!
By Armchair Interviews
Blanchard (author of The One Minute Manager) and Hodges have written a comprehensive and concise manual for all that desire to equip themselves to lead like Jesus and to follow His mandate to be servant leaders, rather than self-serving leaders.The authors maintain that the world is in desperate need for the leadership role model that Jesus provides. We only need to look to the examples surrounding us to see abandoned values, betrayed trust, exploitation and manipulation by people in positions of power and influence to see this truth. They submit that, “It’s not about you,” that there is a better way–and that way is Jesus as a leadership model.Lead Like Jesus: Lessons From the Greatest Leadership Role Model of All Times provides clear-cut methods through Biblical stories, life-application examples and reflective questions that readers can incorporate into their lives. The methods will make a powerful impact in their own personal sphere of influence and in the world by being effective servant leaders.Blanchard and Hodges maintain that we all are leaders, whether we are parents, teachers or even a business CEO. This book shows how to lead with the head, heart, hands and habits of Jesus.Armchair Interviews says: By the time you finish reading you will have begun the journey to leading like Jesus. The book is powerful and we highly recommend it.
