H3 Leadership: Be Humble. Stay Hungry. Always Hustle. by Brad Lomenick
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Brad has joined the list of those providing writing on leadership for a wide audience. I will say there was not a lot of new stuff here but that is OK. Not everything has to be new and novel. Tried and true are valid and Brad has been able to take the tried and true and present it for a new generation of leaders.
Brad works through each section of the “H’s” by laying a foundation followed by some practical steps to achieve each benchmark. Each chapter ends with what I believe is a unique and strong part of the book. Brad allows various other leaders to comment on practical points for each topic. These leaders range from Dan Rockwell (a leadership guru) to Kristen Stanfill (a worship leader). This drives the fact that these principles are far reaching and not just for business or church but can be widely applied.
My one negative was this. There seemed to be a lot of attention to Brad’s tenure and transitions with Catalyst. I would like to have had some more exposure to different settings. The ones provided at the end of each chapter were helpful but short. At times I felt like this was a journal of Brads success and transition with Catalyst.
If you are looking for new and novel this is not the book for you. If you are looking for different ways to see the tried and true applications at work go ahead and read this book.
