Book Review: The Disciplined Leader by John Manning (@JohnMManning)
When Becky Robinson reached out to me to ask if I’d read and review the newest book by John Manning. I couldn’t say no. I’ve been writing about disciplines that stretch people like you and me, and I write about leadership here on my blog from time to time. Manning’s book is all about becoming a leader who focuses on what really matters. In The Disciplined Leader: Keeping the Focus on What Really Matters
In the first section of the book, Manning focuses on disciplines designed to help leaders lead themselves. In the second section of the book, he focuses on disciplines that help leaders lead their teams. And in the third and final section, Manning details disciplines for leaders to lead their organizations more effectively.
Each chapter is laid out in a simple and concise format with action steps which will help readers to practice what they have just read. You can read the book all at once, or you may decide to go through the book in a year taking one discipline each week of the year.
As I read through this book, I was challenged to step up my leadership game in the various arenas where I lead – at home, at work, at church, and elsewhere.
I’m excited to add The Disciplined Leader

(Please note: I received a copy of The Disciplined Leader for free as a gift from Becky Robinson of Weaving Influence in exchange for a review. I was not required to provide a favorable review. I truly believe this book can be a helpful tool for taking your leadership to the next level.
