How to Lead When You're Not in Charge: Audio Bible Studies: Leveraging Influence When You Lack Authority

Written by Clay Scroggins

Narrated by Clay Scroggins

The greatest myth of leadership is that you must be in charge in order to lead.

Great leaders aren't paralyzed by not being in a position of recognized authority. Great leaders lead with or without that authority and learn to unleash their positive influence wherever they are.

In this audio-based study, dynamic author and pastor Clay Scroggins shares his first-hand experience working under Andy Stanley at North Point Community Church. He explains the nature of leadership and what it takes to lead yourself and others well with or without that impressive title.

In this audio study you will:

• Learn to leverage influence instead of authority
• Create a game plan for leading yourself well 
• Change the energy of your team by choosing positivity
• Cultivate influence by thinking critically, not being critical
• Avoid the trap of passivity when you feel out of control
• Learn an effective way to challenge people in authority over you
