In this book, Maxwell Osei provides the four principal stages which will help every individual who aspires to occupy higher position in Life and also wants to become a leader of good reputation to be able to identify their strength so as to become effective and productive in their sphere of contact. Leadership consists not in degrees of technique but in traits of character; it requires moral rather than athletic or intellectual effort, and it imposes on both leader and follower alike the burdens of self-restraint. By Lewis H. Lapham, from these perspective this book will help aspiring leaders to identify the demands and sacrifice they have to go through in realizing their true potentials in leadership.

The Five Phases of Leadership is a book written by a practitioner for practitioners. Organized around five stages of leadership – establishing trust, cultivating leaders, discerning vision, implementing plans and transitioning out – this book offers an overview of the leadership life cycle from a distinctively Christian perspective. Dr. Justyn Terry draws on over twenty years of leadership experience in seminaries and churches, to offer practical insight into a leader’s role. Rather than focusing primarily on leadership styles or skills, this book demonstrates why those skills matter in context. By focusing on a leader’s overall task, Dr. Terry offers a vision of leadership that draws together its disparate elements into a unified whole.

Leadership matters, and it matters a lot. Everyone is affected by the leadership of others whether in their homes, workplaces, communities, or nation. What does it look like to lead as a Christian? At the heart of this book is the belief that there are five phases of leadership: establish trust, cultivate leaders, discern vision, implement plans, and transition out. Drawing on his leadership experience in both the Church and the electronics industry, Justyn Terry's book walks through the cycle of seasons a leader may experience and helps the reader to know what to look out for in each.

"Becoming an effective leader begins with a journey of self exploration. Four Seasons of Leadership will help you chart this journey through crafting your personal mission (winter), obtaining wisdom (spring), developing character (summer), and leading through serving (autumn). This book describes how one can effectively lead others while finding satisfaction in both their work and personal life" -- taken from back cover.

"This book is divided into four seasons -- Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn -- to correspond with the seasons of the year. Just like the cycle of life on this planet, so we each need a Season to understand who we are, why we are here, what we are doing and how we can make a difference in this world. ; The four sections described in this book represent learning times in your journey to leadership. The Winter Season relates to self-introspection, creating a mission statement and setting goals. The Spring Season is about learning from your mistakes, formal education and taking the risks necessary to reach your goals. In the Summer Season, you will explore building a balanced life and relationships through the readings and questions. Finally, all the preparation will come together to explore leadership and life skills in the Autumn Season. It is in this season that all the work of Winter, Spring and Summer will have their culmination"--Pages 9-10
