Summary

In this book on the principles of transformational leadership, Dr. Richard S. Ascough, a noted biblical scholar, and Dr. Charles A. Cotton, an expert in organizational leadership, team up to explore the Apostle Paul's leadership insight and practice. Outlining key principles drawn from Paul's words and example, Ascough and Cotton paint a portrait of Paul as a chaordic leader who was able to create within communities "enough structure and enough space that they become self-organized and productive."
