New Book: Leadership Is Not About You

LINAY_Cover_DesignYou elected or selected students in your school, church, or organization to be leaders. You even call them student leaders.

But now they’re doing everything by themselves. They are working hard, but they’re not leading…anyone…else.

I’ve just released my latest book, Leadership Is Not About You. It’s the follow-up book to Leadership Starts With You.

I put this book in the hands of every one of my student leaders. It’s a quick and easy read, yet the principles it contains will shape their leadership beyond their student leadership year.

I wrote this book for my student leaders for three reasons:

1. To teach my student leaders the quickest path to establish their leadership credibility during their student leadership year.
2. To focus my student leaders on investing in the lives of others through their leadership platform.
3. To equip my student leaders to become the type of people others want to follow.

Inspire Your Student Leaders

Here is an excerpt from the Introduction:

You can inspire your followers through the opportunities you have to get behind them. You are in a position to challenge them to live up to their potential and do their best. You can help others realize their unique gifts and talents and skills and passions. You will find that people follow your leadership because you serve their needs rather than strut your stuff.

When you understand that leadership is not about you, you’ll put the needs of others before your own. You’ll make others feel better about themselves when they’re in your presence. You’ll connect them to other people and projects where they’ll discover a greater sense of purpose and meaning in their lives.

When it’s not about you, you understand that it takes giving away all you can for others instead of taking all you can for yourself.

Your leadership position is a platform. You get to choose how you use it. Will you be selfish or selfless?
