  • The Top Ten Mistakes Leaders Make

The Top Ten Mistakes Leaders Make

Although leadership is the hot topic on conference agendas and book tours, most people who find themselves in positions of leadership have little or no training for the role. They simply continue to make the same old mistakes.

With additional and newly updated material, this leadership classic reveals the most common errors that leaders consistently make-regardless of training or age-and the way to stop these bad habits from undermining their positive talents and accomplishments.

Whether you are leading a company, a ministry, a Girl Scout troop, or your family, The Top Ten Mistakes Leaders Make is a must-read for anyone who wants to lead others effectively.

"If you're like me, you've grown weary of the published cookie-cutter approaches on how to lead effectively. And so has Hans Finzel. He drills to the core of the current issues on effective leadership."
-Charles R. Swindoll, author and president of Dallas Theological Seminary

"This is one of the most practical books on leadership I have in my own library. If you are serious about becoming a better leader, you will want to read this book."
-John C. Maxwell, author, speaker, and founder of the INJOY Group

(2)   This is not a secular discussion of leadership

What none of the reviewers mention is that this is NOT a purely secular discussion of leadership. Finzel takes a Christian approach to leadership effectiveness. For example, when discussing why people tend to rely on an autocratic leadership style, one of the explanations he gives is, "It reflects the depravity of man. Satan began the problem when he wanted to get out from under submission to God the Father. So he rebelled and led his own band of rebels to bring rebellion to the world" (p. 26). Passages from the Bible are used in support of Finzel's advice and many of the examples are drawn from his personal experience in faith-based organizations. I don't have a problem with this per se but I would have preferred to know this in advance. This is not a text that I would be able to use in my organization where religion is considered a personal and private topic.

(5)   Short, Sweet and Inspiring

While written from an outspoken christian leadership perspective, the message is universal, profound, and should be a staple book for all currently or aspiring to lead.

(5)   So you call yourself a leader?

How can you be a leader and not have a book on leadership mistakes? I found this book in an airport concession stand and oh my God what a find. I love this book! As a leader you must know what you are doing at all times. But do leaders make mistakes? Sure we do! Hans Finzel explores leadership scenarios to avoid and those to create to provide the best outcome beneficial both to the leader, the company and the employee. This book is a reference guide for assuring a productive relationship in leadership and a mutual respect for productivity. Leaders need this book.
