Leaders who are unloving and unaware of the importance of relationships can do a great deal of harm—I have seen it. I commend Dr. Wilder and Dr. Warner for their innovative and deeply compassionate approach to helping leaders become more loving, more mature, and more effective.

It’s rare to find a book that links “joy,” modern brain science, and biblical wisdom as a model for leadership. Rare Leadership not only does that well—it succeeds in giving leaders four habits that can’t help but unleash joy and greater effectiveness and authenticity and endurance in their relationships with others. You’ll come away from reading this book knowing much more about how we are “fearfully and wonderfully” made—and far better equipped to lead and love the way Jesus did.
