Publisher's summary

Follow Your Own Lead! The Next Generation Leader has been challenging young Christians eager to learn, grow, and lead in ministry or in the marketplace since its original release in 2003. Now with an all-new look, this repackaged version continues to advance the mission of the first release. Mentoring young leaders as they face the unique issues of a changing world has been pastor and bestselling author Andy Stanley’s passion for more than a decade.

Here he shares material from his leadership training sessions, developed to address essential leadership qualities such as character, clarity, courage, and competency. This is the perfect guide for any new leader - or for the mentor of a future leader! Straight Talk to Tomorrow’s Leaders Five characteristics mark the man or woman who will shape the future. Courage, Clarity, Competence, Coachability, Character.

Drawing on two decades of experience mentoring a rising generation, seasoned visionary Andy Stanley shows how to:

  • Discover and play to your strengths
  • Harness your fears
  • Leverage uncertainty
  • Enlist a leadership coach
  • Maintain moral authority.

"Capable men and women will eventually catch, pass, and replace the current generation of leaders," says Stanley. "Embracing these essentials, you will not only excel in your personal leadership, but also ensure a no-regrets experience for those who choose to follow you."

Simple, clear, understandable, applicable

Andy sticks to what he does best. He pulls from biblical principles to help create a picture for what that looks like practically. His narration skills help to make it feel more like a one on one experience.

Great insight

Great truth and biblical advice for leaders and pastors. While this isn’t practical strategy, it has good moral advice and solid guidance for pastors.

Leadership keys I wish I knew in my 20s

I work for a faith based organization that has a strong leadership building culture as so I often find myself reading books on leadership. I decided to read Next Generation Leader by Andy Stanley to see what his years of experience as a pastor and leader showed him that he would impart to the younger generation to encourage them in their leadership journey. I went through the audio version of the book and found it very easy to listen to and comprehend. He offers 5 key areas of focus and learnings and has great encouragement and stories that I found relatable in each of the sections. I see myself listening to the book maybe once a year to re-align and remind myself of these key essential elements of leadership. I recommend this book to anyone, but especially for the young readers that may be looking for some practical wisdom. I wish I had read this 30 years ago (granted it wasn't written then, but it would have been a great tool in my toolbox).
