Leadership demands constant reframing and reappraisal of the situation at hand. It requires focus, objectivity, honest appraisal of self and others, and evaluation of available resources. An effective Christian church leader must also align the congregation’s vision and practices with God’s vision and the teachings of Christ. Perhaps most importantly, the church leader must love others.
Author Charles Stone uses recent neuroscience research to show how basic brain processes affect leadership. He writes in layperson’s language, with memory-boosting illustrations and acronyms, helping readers to increase productivity, handle stress, create and sustain healthy teams, and manage change in the church. Brain science complements and reinforces Christian teaching on life and leadership; Brain-Savvy Leaders equips readers to use that science as a tool for improvement for life and for the church.

Good start to being a Brain Savvy Leader By Don Haflich My grandmother always told me to use my brain for something "other than holding your ears apart." It's been a long time since I've heard that but it's always stuck with me so It's no surprise that a volume like Brain-Savvy Leaders: The Science of Significant Ministry comes across my desk my interest is piqued. Since I have had previous experience with Anatomy and Physiology I thought this would be a perfect fit for what I know and the leader I'm trying to be. That assumption proved to be correct.Before you rush out to get this book, be forewarned. This book is not for everyone. It's heavy on the stats and well-developed research but that doesn't mean it's a hard book to understand. I know many of my friends would fall over nearly dead if I placed a stat-driven volume in their laps and others would eat it up. If you are the latter then this volume should find a welcome place in your literary arsenal.This section is broken down into four sections. The first addresses the link between studying the brain and the Bible together. These two are not antithetical together yet many place them at odds with each other. Here the author presents an almost Kuyperian view that, "there is not a square inch in all of creation that God does not stand over and rightly claim mine!"Section Two breaks down the brain for us and gets us beyond the sulcus. A basic lesson on what the brain is and how it works fills the rest of the section. I was particularly interested in this section because the science behind how the brain works is exciting to me. Not only do we have a creator who made our brains but made them extremely complex as to leave us without hesitation to claim an intelligent design. If the author hasn't lost you by now then the next section is extremely important to take notes on.Section Three is filled brings all that science home and shows the reader how the information just digested can begin to form behaviors and actions leading to productivity. Things like attention and focus are arranged for the reader in an easily discernible template. The author is careful not to get lost in technical language but instead makes sure to bring the reader along an easy path to follow, especially if the reader has been sleep deprived and is quickly losing focus.The final section brings the volume to a close with an overall summary of the content. Here we have a checklist version of the Leadership Competencies discussed in Section Three. The information displayed in this way was helpful to me as I was able to place co-workers and friends neatly into the their separate categories.This volume helped me to understand the way I communicate and handle myself but it allowed me to do a bit more than that. It allowed me to change the way I think about my leadership role. I wish there would have been a bit more practical application for those in ministry positions. For me, this volume felt much like any other secular volume on leadership with the mention of Christ and the Bible interspersed. That being said, I enjoyed much of what was presented here.Stone, C.

Owens The human brain is an amazingly complex invention that only Someone like the Creator God could have designed! The brain plays a huge part in our day-to-day interactions with other people, so Charles Stone has given us a great resource in Brain-Savvy Leaders: The Science of Significant Ministry.In the introduction, Charles explains the purpose of this book: “By intersecting biblical insights with insights about the brain, we can develop new learnings and language to help us become better leaders, like actually listening to a board member disagree with you rather than becoming defensive and cutting him or her off.”Charles Stone brings a unique combination of mechanical engineering, pastoral studies, and his own family’s personal journey with a daughter going through multiple brain surgeries. This diverse background was very readable for me, as I believe it will be for anyone who believes that the Creator of the brain is the best One to describe its operational aspects.Because we learn best using both our logical (left) brain and our creative (right) brain, Charles presents all of his concepts with logical words, descriptive pictures, and memorable acronyms for each of the main sections. Charles presents the technical information in a way that a non-medical layman can comprehend, and in a way that will be easy to apply in both your personal and corporate roles.Although the book has “leaders” in its title, Brain-Savvy Leaders is a good read for anyone who would like to step up their interpersonal skills.

The practical aspects of the way our brain works is simply, yet, faithfully explored. While not trying to oversimplify the points espoused, the writer serves up an easy way to grasp the processes of our thinking and behaving from the neurological point of view. I highly recommend this writing as a work that will help fill out the need of leaders to grasp the multi-faceted uniqueness of all they work with.
