Select Condition 
Book Overview
Put your flawed foot forward. Pick up most leadership books and you'll find strategies for leveraging your power and minimizing your areas of weakness. But rather than work against your weakness, why not draw from a deeper well of strength? God favors leaders who make the most of the power that comes from brokenness. Go ahead and take full advantage of your flaws. The most effective leaders don't rise to power in spite of their weakness; they lead with power because of their weakness. It is their authenticity in limping leadership that compels others to follow them. Flawed leaders are successful because they're not preoccupied with protecting their image. They are undaunted by chaos and complexity. And they are ready to risk failure in moving an organization from what is to what should be. If you are a leader-or if you have been making excuses to avoid leading-find out how to get the most from your weakness. A limping leader is the kind of person God uses to accomplish amazing things. To go deeper, check out the Leading with a Limp Workbook.

Many spend a lot of time perfecting their skills inorder to improve and maximize their job or leadership efficiency. This author challenges us to maximize that efficiency from a place within that many dare to explore and/or develop. This is absolutely a "must read" for the leader who wants to be the best s/he can be.
Leading With A Limp
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I ordered this book along with the workbook and found both very helpful. Even though I have been told I am a good leader in my church I have been avoiding leading because I have felt I am not one because I am so flawed. I always thought you only become a great leader when you overcome all of your limitations and mistakes. Was I ever wrong. This book tells you how to take your deep wounds, lifelong limps, flaws, and weaknesses to accomplish some of the most amazing things. Your limp becomes a sign, to the leader and the follower. Just as in the Bible, God chooses those with flaws and makes effective leaders out of them. And He will do the the same with you. The oddest thing in the whole book is that the best leaders are the ones who do not seek leadership. The writer says the best leaders are consumed with doubts so they flee leadership and they give away their power. And leadership comes back to them. This book humbles you. And leaves you with hope. You will see God's power in your brokenness. A limping leader is the person God uses to accomplish amazing things.
