<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>How God constantly shapes leaders throughout their adult lives is the major theme in The Character of Leadership, focusing on nine distinct character qualities that must always be kept in check.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Seminary president Jeff Iorg believes that character, and character development, are essential foundations for effective leaders. In <i>The Character of Leadership</i>, he writes about how God ever shapes character in the life of every leader, and in relation, how continual spiritual formation is a process to which every good leader must pay close attention. <p/>Iorg puts insightful chapter-long emphasis on nine important character-shaping qualities that help readers in "becoming the leader God intends me to be rather than doing the leading God intends me to do." The nine qualities are: Integrity, Security, Purity, Humility, Servanthood, Wisdom, Discipline, Courage, and Passion. <p/><b>Endorsements: <br>Rick Warren, author of The Purpose-Driven Life <br></b>"Jeff Iorg defines lasting leadership as character, not capacity or competency. The making of a great leader is built on what God intends you to be rather than doing the leading God intends for you to do. His purpose is first and foremost to shape you into the image of Jesus, the greatest leader of all time." <p/><b>James T. Draper, Jr., president emeritus, Lifeway Christian Resources</b><br>"An enormous contribution to the critical area of ministry and leadership. A must read for every ministry that strives for excellence. I recommend it without reservation." <p/><b>J. Robert White, executive director, Georgia Baptist Convention<br></b>"Iorg is imminently qualified to write this volume on leadership . . . the chapters on integrity and purity are very much needed in our times and worth the investment of your time."<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Jeff Iorg, </b> president of Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary, is also the author of <i>The Character of Leadership</i> and <i>Is God Calling Me?</i> He holds degrees from Hardin Simmons University and Midwestern and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminaries and has answered God's call to be a church planter, pastor, and denominational executive. Jeff and his wife, Ann, live in Mill Valley, California. </p>
