I came across this little gem by way of recommendation from Tim Challies’ blog. While written with the Christian ministry context in mind, the principles could apply to almost any area of leadership. Through this book Sauls breaks down the vulnerabilities of ambition, isolation, criticism, envy, insecurity, anticlimax, opposition, and suffering. Spend enough time in a position of leadership and you are going to face several, if not all of these issues at some point. Fortunately, the author addresses from his personal experience how he has walked through each area and gives some helpful instruction on how to recognize and overcome them. This is the book that I wish they had handed out in seminary, or at the very least about 10 years in.
