Summary: Just like a cook is not keen in displaying pots and pans but in serving a meal that will be appreciated, a leader's giftedness may yield less if he is ignorant of what is really supposed to do.A leader may be equipped with the enviable talents of leadership and posses the admirable character to handle leadership challenges but if he is ignorant of his role as a leader, leadership to him remains but a pipe dream.The leader's role is multifaceted requiring different orientation at different times as the situation may demand. A leader, therefore, must be able to project different characteristics depending on the meal that is at hand.Effective leadership will require that a leader exhibits the nature of a director in leading, a manager in providing responsible service, a diplomat in representing and an advocate in presenting. This book comes at such a time when the concentration is on addressing the gifts of a leader, how a leader is made and how to become a leader. However all these efforts may come to naught if the leader is not aware of what he is to do.I believe this is the tool required for the gifted, the called and the made leaders.
