Communicate Like a True Leader: 30 Days of Life-Changing Wisdom

Note: I will be speaking about the book at Baker Book House in Grand Rapids on Thursday, March 15, 2018, 7-8 p.m. No RSVP needed.

My first major post-retirement (from Calvin College) project has been a book to help leaders regain the essentials of wise communication in the midst of so much conflict and distrust among groups and institutions, from media to churches, government, and business. Anchored in servant leadership, the book, Communicate Like a True Leader: 30 Days of Life-Changing Wisdom, resembles in writing style a daily devotional and is written from an implicitly Reformed perspective. The book briefly explains what I consider to be the 30 most important things about leadership communication, from a cultivating a grateful heart to giving up control, addressing conflict openly, following the Spirit, and seeking understanding even when agreement is not possible. Church staff and leadership teams are using the book and it is being adopted by many colleges and universities for use in leadership courses.

I've posted a few reviews below. Also, use the link below to download a free excerpt of the book. Do contact me directly if you have questions or I might be of service to you ([email protected]). Warm blessings, Quentin Schultze, Grand Rapids, MI
