Format:Hardcover

For more than a decade, Brad Lomenick has led Catalyst, the premier leadership brand for young Christian leaders. He's finally distilled his 20+ years of leadership experience and his time at the helm of Catalyst into a simple, accessible and straight-forward guide to what it takes to be a next-generation leader.

What are the 8 essentials of a Catalyst Leader?

According to Brad, anyone who wants to lead must cultivate eight essential skills and traits. They are:

Calling: discover God's unique calling on your life
Authenticity: embrace your true identity and share it with others
Passion: develop an insatiable hunger for a vibrant relationship with God
Capable: chase after a level of excellence that will stretch you and astonish others
Courageous: learn to push through fear and take risks
Principled: root yourself in unchanging principles rather than shifting circumstances
Hopeful: create and cast a compelling vision for the future
Collaborative: build bridges with others for the purpose of learning and cooperating

Brad devotes a chapter to each of these essentials. He clearly defines each, then illustrates how challenging cultivating each of these qualities can be by using stories from his own life. Next, Brad tells story after story of leaders who embody this quality.

Each chapter also includes lots of questions and conversation starters to help you think through each of these qualities, along with some clear next steps.

Catalyst Leader's greatest strength is that it is very practical. If you're looking for an immediately applicable, accessible leadership book, look no further.
