About this listen

Explorers Lewis and Clark had to adapt. While they had prepared to find a waterway to the Pacific Ocean, instead they found themselves in the Rocky Mountains. You too may feel that you are leading in a cultural context you were not expecting. You may even feel that your training holds you back more often than it carries you along. Drawing from his extensive experience as a pastor and consultant, Tod Bolsinger brings decades of expertise in guiding churches and organizations through uncharted territory. He offers a combination of illuminating insights and practical tools to help you reimagine what effective leadership looks like in our rapidly changing world. If you're going to scale the mountains of ministry, you need to leave behind canoes and find new navigational tools. Listening to this book will set you on the right course to lead with confidence and courage.

if you are a leader or want to be a leader in the 21st century, this book is a must read. it will challenge your own assumptions and presumptions about what leadership should look like. you will come away from it with a renewed sense of purpose and possibility and excitement at what God can do if you allow him to shape you into being the leader that he has called you to be. it will fuel your desire to be personally transformed yourself as a leader in order that you might be part of transforming communities around you. having lived for the last 3 years through a journey of transformational leadership within a non-profit context, I wholeheartedly endorse the concepts set out in this book. as I read through it, it gave me a framework for my own learning and some language to put on to the revelation that we had been given. and within the context of the world changing even faster in this post pandemic era, I believe what the author has to say takes on significant new meaning. it is not for the faint hearted. implementing the principles will take great courage and will be accompanied with great loss. but the rewards for those who are prepared to undertake this journey will be tremendous. read it, have the courage to do it, and then go out and change the world.

Insightful, challenging and gripping

i found the analogy with Lewis & Clark fascinating and enlightening. So much to take in, but will enjoy going over the many helpful take aways in small bits.
