Reviews:
‘I’ve always believed that leadership is about uniting people around a shared vision rooted in purpose and trust. Andy Stanley brings this to life beautifully. Through seven simple yet powerful essentials, he offers a clear and deeply human roadmap for leading with authenticity and creating impact that endures.’ — ANGELA AHRENDTS, DBE, Former CEO of Burberry and former Senior Vice President at Apple
‘If you are interested in how the best leaders build great cultures, look no further. Andy Stanley’s seven essentials come directly from his thoughtful, curious approach to leadership and life. If you want to lead better, read this book.’ — JOHN C. MAXWELL, New York Times bestselling author
‘Most leaders plateau not because they lack talent, but because they lack clarity. What Great Leaders Do provides the difference-makers that separate leaders who merely survive from those who truly thrive. If you’re feeling stuck, this is your way forward.’ — CAREY NIEUWHOF, Bestselling author and host of The Carey Nieuwhof Leadership Podcast
‘This endorsement took me 25 years to write. I’m a fast writer but when I calculated how long I’ve benefitted from Andy Stanley’s leadership I realized it had been a quarter of a century. As a young adult, I listened to his cassette tapes on my commute in Boston. When we moved to Atlanta we sat under his leadership as pastor of North Point. When I started freelancing, I watched him lead projects I was hired to write for North Point. When I started my own company, I’d grill him backstage at events we were both speaking at. The book is amazing, because of course it is. But rarely do I get to so confidently endorse a work like I do this one. I’ve been around the leadership block with Andy, and if you read this book, you’ll be glad you have been, too!’ — JON ACUFF, New York Times bestselling author of Procrastination Proof, Never Get Stuck Again
