Leadership, observes Jeffrey Jones, is never about you. What happens
to you as a leader stems from a vast array of issues and dynamics over
which you have little or no control. Leadership, Jones also insists,
is always about you--Christ's disciple, part of the system, an
individual with your own anxieties and a personal life that shapes
both your personhood and your relationships. Heart, Mind, and Strength
is about dealing with the tension between these two realities. What we
know is important. So is who we are--maybe even more so. Of course,
admits Jones, no book can tell u s everything we need to know about
leadership--the "what" of it. And certainly no book can shape our
personhood--the "who" of leadership. Jones, however, shares both
theoretical and practical insights that will inform the "what' and
influence the "who" of your leadership in transformative ways. Jones
organizes the book around the daily practices of leadership, treating
it as both a skill and an art. Heart, Mind, and Strength will enhance
your practice of ministry by providing well-grounded theory related to
the practical concerns you encounter in the daily work of balancing
what you know with who you are.
