The 5 Phases in the Making of a Leader

Beginning in the 80s, Dr. J. Robert Clinton and his students began a massive study of leaders: historic, biblical, and contemporary. At the time of the original publication of Clinton’s book, The Making of a Leader, in 1988, they had researched 500 case studies. Over the next 15 years, they researched another 3,000 case studies. As they have compared findings from those studies, they’ve gained insights that they believe are transferable to other leaders’ lives, including your own.

First and foremost, Clinton believes those insights can help leaders in all kinds of situations to identify and become more sensitive to God’s working in their own lives as he forms them into the leaders HE wants them to be.
