Leadership That Makes an IMPACT presents a practical leadership model that is easy to understand, remember, and apply. The model was developed by the author's personal experiences and his recognition of the key factors that contribute to the making of great leaders. The model is designed to help leaders improve their skills in whatever leadership role they find themselves--whether in business, in the church, or at home. In this Bible study guide, the author explains how the components of the model are supported by Scripture and how the Christian faith can empower leaders to lead with conviction. Discussion questions are provided to assist the participants in their study of Christian leadership. Practical tips, most taken directly from the book, are also provided within each chapter. The Bible study guide can stand on its own but, for maximum benefit, is best used as a complement to the book Leadership That Makes an Impact.

My association with Carl Basden goes back three decades and began when the Basden family served in the church where I was associate pastor. The principles outlined in this book work not just in the corporate world (proven by his distinguished career as an executive) but also in the various organizations of family and church life where he has served through the years. Reading this book, I was reminded of the many times I watched Carl employ these ideals, practiced as a corporate executive, a church leader, and a Bible teacher. The principles work because they are rooted in the timeless truth of God's Word. Anyone desiring to grow in their management skills as a corporate or ministry leader will benefit from reading this simple but profound treatise from a true believer and gifted teacher.

As a pastor, I am very picky about the Bible study resources we use in our church. First and foremost, I want any Bible study we use to be theologically sound. Second, I want it to facilitate discussions that will propel our church family toward becoming more like Jesus. Third, I want the material to offer practical application that the men and women in our congregation can use in their daily lives. The IMPACT Bible study guide meets all three of these prerequisites. But the final requirement is just as significant. I want the material to be written by someone who loves our Savior and lives for Him in his/her own life. Carl Basden meets and exceeds this final standard! Therefore, I highly recommend this resource as one that will make an impact in your church!
