Episode 13 - marquesmind Book Discussion: Lead Like Jesus

Ken Blanchard’s “Lead Like Jesus” is a transformative guide that redefines leadership through the timeless example of Jesus Christ. As a renowned leadership expert and bestselling author, Blanchard brings his wealth of experience to this insightful work, co-authored with Phil Hodges.

The book’s central premise is both simple and profound: Jesus is the greatest leadership role model of all time. Blanchard and Hodges expertly weave biblical wisdom with practical business acumen, creating a roadmap for leaders at all levels to embrace humility, stewardship, and service over self-interest.

What sets “Lead Like Jesus” apart is its focus on the alignment of four leadership domains: heart, head, hands, and habits. This holistic approach challenges readers to examine not just their actions, but their motivations and beliefs. As someone who has grappled with leadership challenges, I found the book’s emphasis on personal transformation particularly impactful.

Blanchard’s accessible writing style makes complex concepts digestible, offering a blend of inspiring anecdotes and actionable strategies. The inclusion of “Pause and Reflect” sections and a detailed discussion guide makes this an ideal read for both personal reflection and group study.

“Lead Like Jesus” is essential reading for anyone seeking to lead with integrity and purpose. Whether you’re a business executive, community leader, or simply looking to improve your personal relationships, this book offers timeless principles that can revolutionize your approach to influence and service.

Questions to ponder:

1. How might applying Jesus’ servant leadership model change your current leadership style?

2. Which of the four leadership domains (heart, head, hands, habits) do you find most challenging to align, and why?

3. How can you incorporate the book’s principles of humility and service in your daily interactions?
