This book describes Christ's leadership qualities and behaviors. The attributes of the mantle, worn by God's prophets, help us visualize Christlike leadership. Leaders in the home, workplace, church, and school, as well as Great Commission believers, need to practice Christlike leadership to build up their people for success and prepare them for Christ's return. The Mantle first describes how God makes leaders - how leaders learn to follow first. It then presents 4 character qualities of leadership: The Servant-Leader, Heart-To-Heart, Wisdom From Above, and Pull Don't Push. These qualities are also found in the cross of Christ. There are 8 behaviors identified that apply to every area of leadership (i.e., as spouses, parents, grandparents, pastors, deacons, supervisors, foremen, teachers, principals, coaches, and Christian believers making disciples for Christ). These behaviors are: Open to the ideas of others - listen; Being loyal & building Loyalty; Building up our people's self-esteem; Building unity and family; Good communications and planning; Recognizing and rewarding good performance; Rating performance well; and, Developing a heart for customer service. In each of these, the reader sees Christ's example through the prophet's mantle. The mantle, like Christ, provided covering, protection, and comfort. It was an instrument of empowerment. It provided freedom, identity, and recognition. It helped them through wind and rain storms as Christ brings us through the storms of uncertainty, chaos, change, and broken trust. The mantle concludes with the eternity of Christ's leadership - the same yesterday, today, and forever.

From the Author

I am a supervisor at an organization of 3,500 employees that has adopted the principles of Mantle leadership as its standard for measuring management excellence. Employees conduct "reverse appraisals" of their leaders based on the "14 points" of Mantle leadership. This organization won the 1996 Presidential Award for Quality (PAQ), which, in government, is equivalent to the Malcolm Baldrige Award in industry. I have been privileged to be invited to represent my organization at many national-level Human Resource Management and Quality Conferences. Besides secular invitations, churches and Christian business organizations have also invited me to present Mantle men's retreats, couples retreats, special Sunday School classes, Christian Education workshops, seminars, and a series of men's and women's leadership series.
