I am not a big fan of “leadership” books. The people who write them and like to read them seem to know how to talk about leadership more than actually lead. It amazes me that Jesus admonished us to be followers. How did the whole leadership thing become such a diluted, universal mantra.

So true. In middle school I was in the junior honor society and one our big “projects” was every semester (so twice a year) we had to read a leadership book and write a report on it. Whats the point? If the author of any those books went out there and actually lead they might be not even know what to do.

Sigh… I know… I know… I know… and I am in a school that is pushing it. If I am not using that leadership language it won’t go well for me.
Haha! I am glad I am not the only one who sees this! This is definitely one of my pet peeves; the ones who posture as leaders almost never are.
Sorry I have been out of the loop and have not responded to these comments for so long. There are big new things coming for us and we are trying to do triage on which paths to take. We have too many options.
