About this listen
Are you hungry to help others through leadership but don't feel like you have the authority?
One of the greatest myths of leadership is that you must be in charge in order to lead. Great leaders don't buy it. Great leaders - whether they have the official authority or not - learn how to be an influential presence wherever they are.
In How to Lead When You're Not in Charge, author and pastor Clay Scroggins explains the nature of leadership and what's needed to be a great leader - even when you answer to someone else.
Drawing from biblical principles and his experience as the lead pastor of Buckhead Church in Atlanta, Georgia, Clay will help you nurture your vision and cultivate influence with integrity and confidence, even when you lack authority in your organization or ministry.
In this audiobook, Clay will walk you through the challenge of leadership and the four basic behaviors all great leaders have and how to cultivate them:
- Leading yourself
- Choosing positivity
- Thinking critically
- Rejecting passivity
With practical wisdom and humor, Clay Scroggins will help you free yourself to become the great leader you want to be so you can make a difference. Even when you're not in charge.
Charts and graphs included in the audiobook companion PDF download.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 32
The pressures on organizations to change will only increase over the next decades. Yet the methods managers have used to strengthen their companies—total quality management, reengineering, right sizing, restructuring, cultural change, and turnarounds—routinely fall short. In Leading Change, Kotter identifies an eight-step process that every company must go through to achieve its goal, and shows where and how people—good people—often derail.

Good content but too religious.
Overall some good content but I wish there was a warning on the religious references. I am not a church goer and found a lot of the religious content irrelevant.

Welcome to church..
Though the points are good, the delivery is all about God and being Christian. This book could have been so much better without the God aspect.

Didn't finish because I
Couldn't get to the second hour of the book. Seems interesting, but all the Jesus rhetoric getting shoved down my throat totally turned me off. If it's a book about leadership, talk about that and shut off the religion crap. All the points can be made without mentioning jesus or god ... so why is it always coming back to that ? Context is important in some exemples, but in this case, it adds nothing to the point and it gets annoying after a while.

Not for industrial professionals
Author states the same point several times without progressing, gives the feeling of coercion rather than delivering valuable point and moving on. Excessive references to scripture to support points rather than using life experiences of success/failure criteria without reflective evaluation.

Disguised christian propaganda - wtf??
I don’t need to turn the “voice of god up in my head” to find my inner purpose!
If the author removed the christian preaching and religious citations this would have been palatable, 1/3 the length and possibly worth me referring to others,

Unless you’re a devout christian, don’t listen to this book
Review title says it all. Too much religion preaching in this book to speak to a wider audience

A lot of religious talk…
Book was ok… there was a lot of preaching religion. Felt like I was at a Sunday mass and I haven’t been to church in 20 years!

Way Too Much Religion
I think I've learned more about God and the Bible than I did about learning to lead. I did not finish the book, I could not get past God being brought up every paragraph.

too much religion involved
the preview doesn't reflect the narrorator context, most of the lessons are based on God's teachings, so it's not for everyone
