ELN has been organized with the mission of <span style="font-style: italic;">developing leaders for emerging urban church</span>. Our goals for fulfilling this mission are to<br />&gt; Establish ongoing leadership training<br />&gt; Identify and mentor leaders<br />&gt; Provide a resource network for leaders<br /><br />Ultimately, our aim is to become a resource for identifying and developing a new generation of leaders. <br /><br />This bulletin board is one effort towards that end. With the ELN Book Club we will agree upon a book to read together. A question or comment from the book will be posted and you will have the opportunity to share your thoughts or insights. <br /><br />We reserve the right to remove any entries that we deem in appropriate or not in keeping with the spirit of the ELN.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11083971-110936643924799966?l=buildingleaders.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jason Perryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11846708479730857263noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11083971.post-1109366393222481822005-02-25T14:19:00.000-07:002005-02-25T14:19:53.223-07:00The first book we have chosen for the ELN Book Club is <span style="font-style: italic;">Overcoming the Dark Side of Leadership</span>, by Gary McIntosh and Sam Rima (Baker Books, ISBN - 0-8010-9047-4). According to the authors, &#x201c;many traits that drive us to succeed have the potential of bringing out a dark side of leadership, In this book, the leader learns how this can happen and how to identify his or her dark side.&#x201d;<br /><br />After you have read chapter 1, respond to the following question:<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Reflect on Sam&#x2019;s story of how his dark side collided with his life work. In what ways have you experienced similar collisions in your own life, work, family, or leadership role?</span><br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11083971-110936639322248182?l=buildingleaders.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jason Perryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11846708479730857263noreply@blogger.com6
