Who Will Lead

“Gordon Bassett’s book Who Will Lead – Planning for Transitions in Leadership, is the product of years of reflection and experience in ministry. Just as races are won or lost at the handing off of the baton, so leadership transitions are likewise crucial in the life of any church or organization. While many books focus on building strong churches, Gordon explores the dynamic of leaving a legacy intact through adopting a thoughtful process of leadership transition. Citing the experiences of key churches in the US and Australia, Gordon concludes with observations and lessons based on personal experience. I recommend this book to you as a valuable resource to any church or business leader who contemplates future outcomes and wants to leave a legacy of wisdom and empowerment to those who follow in his footsteps.”
