Edwin Friedman: The Problem with Leadership
A friend recommended the book Failure of Nerve by Edwin H. Friedman especially for the pastoral ministry. I've not been one to focus on family systems theory, but this books, as it pertains to leadership, has really given wonderful, and in my view, undeniable, nuggets of wisdom. The subtitle says it all for me: "Leadership in the Age of the Quick Fix." I present here some quotes from the introduction and a few helpful charts.
