A unique look at crisis leadership and the hard but invaluable lessons that can be learned in difficult and uncertain times.Our fascination with leadership runs deep and has done so for centuries - just witness the books on Nelson, Churchill and Thatcher. But what exactly are the attributes and competencies that separate those who lead effectively from those who won't, don't or can't?For many people, the acid test of true leadership comes during moments of crisis, when the stakes are highest and the decisions most difficult. It's no surprise, then, that our fascination with stories of leaders overcoming great adversity is endless. This interest has been exacerbated in recent years as every organisation in the world has found itself in a crisis at some level, whether due to a collapse in sales, an unexpected spike in demand, a logistics nightmare or the sheer uncertainty that the pandemic has wrought.Leading from the Frontline offers multiple perspectives of leadership from across multiple types of crisis. Each chapter tells the story of a leader who steered their organisation through a particularly tumultuous period. It looks at the challenges they faced, the decisions they were forced to make, the personal pressures they encountered, the lessons they learned and the mistakes they made. It also examines how the crisis they responded to subsequently changed their organisation or the environment in which they operate. Including issues of a medical, socio-political, environmental and military nature, while featuring a range of reputational crises case studies, Leading from the Frontline is essential reading for any leader to prepare their organisation for uncertain futures.

Being a Pastor is a big deal! It is supposed to be. Because it is, the devil takes great pleasure in trying to minimize our effectiveness. And he does a great deal of that work inside our own mind and spirit. The purpose of this book is to share some of our experiences in hopes that some of the problems we faced can help others in similar situations to know that they are not "the only ones". We also hope that church members may gain some insights into their pastor and the struggles he or she faces. The picture we hope we paint for you is that you are not the problem. The people of your church are not the problem. But the devil wants to use the people of your church to make you think you're the problem, so he can thwart whatever good God is doing through you. And God is using you. You are doing some good. You are making a difference. You are a real pastor. We hope and pray that you receive a blessing from the Lord through this work. Be on the lookout for our next book.

MICHAEL KELLY, A MAN WITH A LIFE AS WRECKED AS THE LUXURY CAR HE’D JUST RUN OFF A WINDING MOUNTAIN ROAD, THEN WALKED AWAY FROM.“Want is a cherishing of control.” the old mountain preacher told him, “Recognizing need is being willing to release that control.” And so Michael Kelly’s journey begins. Michael Kelly had sought to gain the whole world and thought he’d succeeded, till the weight of his own arrogance and conceit collapsed that world around him andleft him to struggle through the rubble that remained; grim and frustrated memories of what was, emotionally, material, professionally.From that small mountain church, through a series of encounters more and more evidently directed by the hand of GOD, Michael finds that to rebuild his life, he must walk a path by new found faith rather than by his old ways, a path leading through the intent and schemes of men just as arrogant and self-conceited as his own had once been.“For what shall it profit a man to gain the whole world, and to lose his own soul?”
