★★★★★ The publisher provided a copy for reviewRather than resisting change and hardship, Bolsinger invites leaders to accept challenges as formation of their character, skills, and experience. Adaptive leadership is a constant exercise in "stamina, the strength of purpose, the perseverance to lead a church, institution, or organization through deep organizational change.
This quote summarizes the book for me: "Tempering a leader is a process of reflection, relationships, and practices during the act of leading that form resilience to continue leading when the resistance is highest. It includes vulnerable self-reflection, the safety of relationships and specific spiritual practices and leadership skills in a rhythm of both work and rest. It is hard, formative work."
And that is why I recommend this book to every Christian leader who finds his or herself resisting change or transformation, who feels stuck in place, or who has lost their vision for the Kingdom of God and the big challenges God may be calling her/him into.
