What Leaders Do

About the Book

Leaders come in all shapes and sizes. Some are bold in their style, some are unassuming. Some fly by the seat of their pants. Some are very calculating. Even the Apostles of Jesus varied greatly in their approaches to leadership. Peter was a power house. James was a practical tactician. John was a lover. But in the end, leaders always make a difference. They see what needs to be done, and they do what needs to be done.

In this leadership primer Dave Browning, author of Deliberate Simplicity, unpacks the specifics of "the seeing" that leaders see, and "the doing" that leaders do. While this book won't make you a leader, it will give you a track to run on if you want to be.

About the Author

Dave Browning is a visionary minimalist and the founder of Christ the King Community Church, International (CTK). CTK is a non-denominational, multi-location church that has been noted as one of the "fastest growing" and "most innovative" churches in America by employing the K.I.S.S method: "keep it simple and scalable."

Dave's passion is to see the church grow organically and exponentially through relationships, instead of attractionally and incrementally through programming. Dave's vision is to see a prevailing multi-location church emerge that will transform the spiritual landscape. This church will convene in hundreds of small groups, with Worship Centers strategically located in every community. Since it's beginning in 1999, CTK has become a mini-movement, with locations in a number of states, countries and continents.

Prior to CTK, Dave pastored in traditional and mega-church contexts. His experiences led him to become a pastorpreneur and to break many of the rules of the established church, including "bigger is better." A scion of simplicity, Dave coined the phrase "deliberate simplicity" to describe a new equation for church development, where less is more, and more is better. Dave is married to Kristyn and has three children, Erika, Jenna and Daron. He lives in Burlington, Washington.
