I often tell our church that their spiritual journey is neither a sprint nor a marathon, but a relay race, and that every one of them plays a part. Some people race well and hand the baton off to a faithful runner. Others slog through, complaining the whole time about the condition of the track or how long it took for the previous runner to get to them. In Front-Row Leadership, Pastor Rob does a fantastic job reaching every team member, whether hes challenging them to get engaged, encouraging them to overcome obstacles, or motivating them to end strong. There is something for everyone on your team in this book.

Like most emerging leaders, I wanted to lead effectively. So, I found a seat on the front row. Before long it was obvious I was not prepared for the front row. It required more of me as a leader than I had capacity to give. My thinking and level of thinking had to shift. Alas, Rob Ketterling hadnt published Front-Row Leadership yet. I would be further along in my leadership journey had I read Front-Row Leadership. I recommend it to leaders at all levels.
