Good book about how God takes us through test and trials. We are all called to be some type of leader and we need to pass different test that God puts us through. Recommend to all that are called into some type of leadership.

In his book “21 Tests of Effective Leadership” Larry Kreider, internationally acclaimed Christian leader, draws from his own life experiences, as well as those of other church leaders and leaders in the secular marketplace, that have faced these same tests successfully. He has compiled a unique collection of relevant short illustrative sketches, anecdotes, and proven principles to validate each of the tests of leadership developed within the contents of the book.
Kreider establishes standards of character, leadership skills, and step by step solutions to facing each of the 21 tests which begin with discovering your personal call to leadership, establishing priorities, empowering others, demonstrating leadership through example, and handling conflicts.
Kreider also points out how tests of character, such as humility, integrity, dependence on God and perseverance are significant and vital in the process of self examination by anyone honestly seeking to improve their effectiveness as a leader.
Each chapter includes questions for personal reflection. These thought provoking questions are also ideal for executive staff meetings, training sessions, for suggested reading for every level of staff leadership, and for developing present and future leadership roles. I especially appreciated Larry’s detailed research and documentation, providing hundreds of excellent tools for further reference and study. His writing is articulate, timely, and motivational.
Allow the Lord to develop your attitude, character, gifts, and talents as you face the challenge of passing the “21 Tests of Effective Leadership” in your family, business, community, and church experiences.

Great timing for this great book. One of the most missing evidences of life in the church is effective leadership. It is not generally taught and therfore many miss the opportunity to maximize their learning due to ineffective leadership from the pulpit and in the many ministries.
This book ‘hits the spot’ and this Christian Leader knows just how to presnt this missing need to help and aid all of us.
This book should be required reading and study, and then application in all Christian churches. Excellent book!
