The Fourfold Leadership of Jesus

Andrew Watson

From: The Good Bookstall - March 2009

In this readable, well thought-out book Andrew Watson offers wise, practical advice to leaders, encouraging them to lead like Jesus. Jesus called his disciples to come, to follow, to wait and to go, and the book's basis is that each of these commands represents a different aspect of the call to discipleship. The author also believes that leadership and discipleship are so closely related as to be virtually indistinguishable from one another. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to become more like Jesus.

Anglican vicar of a Twickenham church Andrew Watson speaks at conferences in the UK and abroad on issues relating to leadership: he has distilled his message into print with The Fourfold Leadership of Jesus. The book’s four parts relate to the calls of Jesus to Come to me - starting with Accessible leadership; Follow me - examining Inspirational leadership; Wait for me - describing long-term leadership; and Go for me - multiplying leadership, which deals with misleadership as well as responding to the missionary challenge. His range of references is wide and helpfully detailed - from second century Pliny to a 21^st century community health and development society in the slums of Delhi - and he writes from the experience of pioneering three church plants and as a member of the Church of England’s Council for Mission and Ministry.
