Summary
    In a world where it is often difficult to find hope and many leaders in the public square use fear to motivate, Radical Leadership: Leading with Love presents a vision for leadership grounded in the pivotal principle of love. Inspired by the biblical verses in 1 Corinthians 13, this book advocates for a fresh approach to leadership.

    The radical leader is a loving leader, exemplifying patience, kindness, humility, and more. This innovative leadership style cultivates a leader’s ability to navigate challenges in a way that builds character, a positive climate, and enhances the capacity of their organization. The loving leader changes lives for the better.

    Featuring practical tools, reflective questions, and actionable practices, Radical Leadership is a guide for any leader looking to increase their effectiveness, influence, and build a lasting legacy. Within an academic context, the book is especially useful for courses and programs in leadership studies, organizational behavior, and Christian leadership.

    Michael Houston is Associate Professor in the Master of Organizational Leadership program at Southern Nazarene University. Prior to joining the SNU faculty, Dr. Houston served in various roles at Azusa Pacific University, Pepperdine University, and Seattle Pacific University.
