Summary

Leading the Followers by Following the Leader targets the essence of leadership: CHARACTER. Inner growth in Christlikeness is far more important than outward development of management skills. Character, after all, was Jesus' approach. Check out the Gospels. The focus was not on management but modeling, not on doing but being, not on characteristics but character.
