Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Chapter 16 outlines a list of rules for leaders:
To become an evangelist means to develop teams and organizations through enthusiasm, camaraderie, passion, and service to a larger cause.
Listening and observing can help leaders identify the special gifts and skills of the people around them. This goes beyond reading resumes; to find a person’s true gifts means understanding them fully as a person.
Mylett believes that the “number one job of a leader is to develop new leaders” (202). When wise leaders build other leaders, they free up their own time for other productive activities, develop loyalty among the team, and extend their own legacy through others.
Mylett writes that his own experiences as a youth counselor led him to realize that an essential role of a leader is to love people, believe in them, care about them, and show them how to live better. When in doubt about your ability to lead, remember that these four actions directly connect to your effectiveness as a leader.
