Book Review: Leaders Who Last by Dave Kraft
Leaders Who Last by Dave Kraft is probably the most useful book that I’ve read this year. This could be because I’m in the middle of planting a church and it was an extremely timely read, but I think it’s more than that. This is simply an amazingly accessible, smart, time-tested manual on godly leadership. Every single chapter of this book is good. There is nothing in here that’s throw-away. I intentionally read through this book slowly, trying to apply each chapter’s contents before I moved on. Truthfully I could have breezed through it in a day, but I needed to drink in these thoughts deeply. There’s not much in Leader’s Who Last that’s amazingly original, but there are a thousand things that I need to apply to become a better leader. I’ve heard it said of some books, “this book is a companion for life, to be read again and again,” and I’ve often wondered how such a statement could be made about any book other than the Bible. But in my opinion, it’s true of Leaders Who Last. This book should be read again and again and I hope to make it my lifelong companion.
One Caveat…the book cover design says “only 30% of leaders last” but the picture on the cover shows a percentage that is equal to only 16%. Check it out for yourself…kinda funny.
