Leadership is often seen in terms of the charismatic hero who by sheer force of personality and outrageous vision draws people along in his or her wake. There have been many books written by, for and about these people.

This book is for the rest of us.

Most leaders are more "normal" than this. We are the quiet leaders, the people thrust forward by God, life, circumstances and the need of the hour. How do people who are introverted deal with the task of leading, guiding, enthusing others?

Brian Harris is a teacher, a principal and a pastor. In this book he shares many insights about how quiet leadership can harness the gifts of others, nurture them to achieve more than seems possible and help any organisation grow past where it is now.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and will be returning to it when I need more leadership wisdom.
