review 1: I've always struggled with evaluating books that fall into the broad "self-help" or "leadership" categories. To be quite honest, I don't really like most books in this category. I feel guilty for admitting that because, as a minister, leadership and self-improvement should be pretty high on my priority list, right? This book, though, has shown me a new way to value this literature as part of my personal formation. What Wayne Cordeiro does, and does so well, is to open up a window into his own experience of leadership burn-out and then trace his path back to wellness. He is very open about the painfulness of the process and offers detailed descriptions of the safeguards he has since put in place to prevent it from happening again. The book's greatest value for me is that I ... moredidn't feel the pressure to slavishly imitate the "Wayne Cordeiro Method" of burn-out recovery but the opportunity to assimilate some pieces of the "Wayne Cordeiro Method" into the "Jared Runck Design."If I ever one day become a leadership guru, this book will most certainly deserve a good part of the credit. It is a book on leadership that doesn't feel like just another book on leadership. It's fresh, inviting, honest, and helpful. It WILL fill your tank if you're leading on empty!
review 2: Leading on Empty by Wayne CordeiroI hadn't anticipated getting much out of this book. After all it was written for ministers and leaders who were burned out. I am neither a minister nor a leader. But to my surprise, his description of what he went through was a very close description of what led me to retire from my career as a pharmacist. Physical, emotional, and spiritual exhaustion. I was pleased that he gently but firmly described the steps that he took and recommends for people who are just burned out. Not everything in the book is applicable to everyone but this is a good book to have on hand when you come to the end of the rope and are just barely hanging on less
