Help! I Work with People – Getting Good at Influence, Leadership, and People Skills Paperback – 29 September 2020

Hands down the best book on church leadership that I’ve ever read. Not only does Chad speak to the philosophy of leadership, he talks about how it actually plays out in real life. Highly recommend for anyone that works in a social environment, whether it’s church or elsewhere!

I love leadership books, and have read countless over my two decades as an executive leader of local, national and international organizations. I pre-ordered this book and read "Unreasonable Hope" in the waiting (also highly recommend). I love this book, and here's why. - I can hear Pastor Chad's voice while reading this book. It's him talking to you as if you were having a conversation in his living room. He cuts to the chase, he doesn't cut corners and he doesn't waste your time. He tells you like it is, speaks his language (sports!), while exuding love, enthusiasm and encouragement. BOOM!- This book is not a regurgitation of leadership quotes and stories you've heard before, this book is his own testament of what it takes to be a good leader - the good and the bad. He lives it. He's not telling you something he doesn't do or live out himself. It made the book that much more relevant, practical and real. THANK YOU!- He didn't have a plan to write this book, another leader saw these strengths in Pastor Chad and encouraged him to write it for other leaders - WOW. And, Pastor Chad did it with depth, research, and fortitude. There is no skimping or simplicity to the lessons. It's well thought out, holistic, encompassing and incredibly inclusive of all aspects of leadership.- He doesn't shy away from hard topics like ego, conflict or getting the right people in the right places and how to work through difficult situations. He addresses those topics boldly and effectively.- Perfect balance of soft skills + hard skills to be a great leader. Although I think the diamonds in this book are the deep dives on the soft skills, particularly how to lead YOURSELF.- I appreciated the section dedicated to manners. Enough said.I really, really loved this book for so many reasons - right time, right place, right words. I wish it was in the hands of more mainstream companies + leaders and topping the charts on the NY Times Bestseller list. It deserves it and so does Pastor Chad.- Joanna

Awesome book.!Definitely crucial for anyone trying to develop in a leadership capacity!Highly recommend!!!!

Great content but the the text is so small it's really hard to read.

This book is so practical and needed. I recommend this to most of my team leads as a must read!
