The Life-Giving Leader

Tyler Reagin, the author of The Life Giving Leader, is a certified leadership coach. After reading his book, I think he'd be great to work with in that role. The book is written in a very engaging style, and it feels more like sitting down and talking to a friend than slogging through something that's supposed to help your personal development (because let's face it, sometimes the self-help type books are not the most fun to read).

Early on, I found this quote: “I have been asked if these principles apply only to leaders who call themselves Christian. The answer? The process of discovering your unique identity can apply to any leader.” I think that's a pretty good synopsis of the book. It gives some good principles for helping anyone become the kind of leader who is uplifting and encouraging - life-giving - to those he or she leads. There is a Christian slant to the book, but I don't think it would necessarily be off-putting to those who are not Christians.

I'm not a leader in any official capacity, but I am a parent, and I do have co-workers and people I volunteer with. I think this book has given me some good ideas on how to lead where I'm meant to do so, and how to be life-giving to those around me in any capacity.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher through their book launch program for my honest review. @WaterBrookPress #Partner
