In the preface, pastor and Bible teacher Warren W. Wiersbe articulates the purpose of this book is to be "a practical 'theology of leadership' based on the principles and illustrated taught in the Bible. As one would expect from a Bible teacher with significant life experience in various contexts, Wiersbe accomplishes this goal well. He admits there won't be ground-breaking new ideas or leadership concepts and there are not. Yet the book is an easy read, well-written, and illustrates the biblical principles of leadership with engaging stories.
The chapters are short (4-7 pages), making the book easy to read, though the lack of chapter headings or titles seems awkward (and of course this means there is no "table of contents" to guide you through). An outline never became clear as one read, though the book didn't seem scattered either and chapters generally flow in a logical sequence, though again some formal titles would be beneficial.
Though it is not particularly academic, I would recommend this book for an introductory college (or high school) course on leadership as it coverse Biblical principles well and interacts with some general leadership concepts thoughtfully.
