ReviewsPraise forLeading with a Limp "There are good books on leadership, but this one is profound. It is better than a 'how to do it' book; this is a 'how tobeit' book for leaders. Dan Allender offers serious wisdom rather than simple platitudes." Mark Sanborn, speaker, leadership consultant, and best-selling author ofThe Fred Factor "Not only is Dan Allender a good friend, he is a great leader. InLeading with a Limp, he has shown us how we can effectively lead those allotted to our charge. Read this book...it will bring a lot of things into perspective for you." Dennis Rainey, president of FamilyLife and coauthor ofMoments Together forCouples "After reading this book, the first two words out of my mouth were 'At last!' Amid a deluge of spiritual gifts inventories, at last there is someone who understands how God's strength is madeperfectin our imperfections. At last someone has brought spiritual strengths and spiritual weaknesses into conversation. For Dan Allender, the limp is a limpid way of walking that leads into the very presence of God." Leonard Sweet, author ofThe Three Hardest WordsandOut of the Question…Into the Mystery "Leading with a Limpis not your basic, cafeteria-brand manual on how to 'do' leadership. It is a call to openly face your shortcomings as a leader. Dan Allender reminds us that our greatest asset as leaders is not our competence but the courage to name and deal with our frailties and imperfections." Dr. Crawford W. Loritts, Jr., author, speaker, and senior pastor of Fellowship Bible Church in Roswell, Georgia "Once again Dan Allender has propelled us headlong into the paradoxical wonders of the gospel of God's grace.Leading with a Limpexposes the thin veneer of respectability we leaders try to stretch over our destructive idols of control and pragmatism. In so doing, Allender invites us to the freeing humility of leading as "the chief sinner" in whatever context God has placed us." Scotty Smith, founding pastor of Christ Community Church in Franklin, Tennessee, and coauthor ofRestoring Broken Things "I often wonder if other people feel the way I do when they read books on leadership. Most of the books are heavy on motivation or strategy or positive thinking. Dan Allender looks at how anyone can move his teamand himselfforward when he is pummeled by circumstances and his heart is fainting. This is real-world stuff, but you'll have to take off the rose-colored glasses to read it." Bob Lepine, cohost of FamilyLife Today "Leading with a Limpwill have a lasting impact on me; it addressed several issues I'm struggling with at this point in my life and leadership. I thank God for this honest and insightful book!"

SynopsisLeading with a Limp, along with its companion workbook, supplies practical direction to anyone who aspires to more effective leadership, showing that a limping leader is the person God uses to accomplish amazing things., Put your flawed foot forward. Pick up most leadership books and you'll find strategies for leveraging your power and minimizing your areas of weakness. But think about the leaders whose names have gone down in history. Most of them were so messed up that, if they were looking for work today, no executive placement service would give them the time of day. God's criteria for choosing leaders runs counter to the conventional wisdom. Our culture equates strength with effectiveness, but God favors leaders who know the value of brokenness. In "Leading With a Limp," you'll discover what makes flawed leaders so successful. They're not preoccupied with protecting their image, they are undaunted by chaos and complexity, they are ready to risk failure in moving an organization from what is to what should be. God chooses leaders who aren't deceived by the myths of power and control, but who realize that God's power is found in brokenness. If you are a leader-or if you have been making excuses to avoid leading-find out how you can take full advantage of your weakness. A limping leader is the person God uses to accomplish amazing things. To go deeper, check out the "Leading With a Limp Workbook. ", "Leading with a Limp," along with its companion workbook, supplies practical direction to anyone who aspires to more effective leadership, showing that a limping leader is the person God uses to accomplish amazing things.
