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.

Too much Jesus
The author is referencing to the Bible all the time, which is extremely annoying. There are some good points about leadership, but I was hoping for something more academic rather than anecdotal. I don’t recommend.

A church worker in need of an editor
This book is written with a couple of assumptions; you are a member of an evangelical North American church, and you take most your motivation for all aspects of you life from the bible.
The text and performance follow on from those points. If, like most of the world, that’s not your background, you may find this book somewhat alienating. I did. Which is a shame because Clay has good things to say and, when drawing on his own experience, he is witty, self deprecating and wise.
A friend and I started listening to this together so we could share notes, but they gave up at chapter 3. There was too much ‘children of the light’ to be able to discern the management lessons.
I think it wasn’t written for me and I suspect the author will have been blown away by its success outside his world. I’m pleased for him, he seems like a decent person with two things to impart; his own Christian belief, and clear thoughts on management. I think both would be more clearly communicated in separate books, which a tougher editor may have helped with.

To religious
Whilst this book is a very good listen, it was more religious than expected. Whilst relating leadership to Jesus, if your belief in Jesus is minimal like mine it is difficult however the principles are relatable

Practical
loved the pop culture references. It was bible based without being preachy. Worth the read.

Religious connotations / religiously orientated
I'm very disappointed to hear that the stories used to explain the authors perspective are so orientated towards God. It consistently refers to God as something to be considered when reflecting objectively about making decisions.
Although it is within any persons rights to choose to put faith in any divine or non-divine belief, one that relies so heavily on imagination should not be used to reason with logical concepts.
I'm sure it would cause an uproar to put a "religious connotations" or "religiously orientated perspective" advisory note on content, but why not... your Amazon ...and Amazon is bigger than God.

WOULDN’T recommend
After listening to many audio books including some on self education, learning, progression, this one is far too much describing authors stories. Not much learning.

Bible basher on full volume
Awful, yet another god botherer pretending to have special knowledge. If you want to hear evangelising, you've hit the jackpot.

I got more than information
Amazing read. A real inspiration and blessing. Clay has indeed walked more than a mile in my shoes. It's given me a perspective of where I am and what I need to do going forward. Greatly Recommended.

Not good
Too much reference to god and religion. Not applicable at all to what the book is supposed to be about.
Disappointing book!

All god and no substance
Thoroughly disappointing and a waste of money. Ditched it after the first two chapters. More about religion than leadership. If you omit the religious propaganda there is zero actual substance to take away from this book. Avoid wasting your money, unless you like that kind of thing.
