“In the West, we have often made
leadership into a person. Leadership is not a person, but
rather a series of functions fulfilled by a group of people.
A leader is still needed, because God wants each one of us
to learn how to follow Him by practicing submission with
leaders whom He places over us. But the tasks of leadership
are to be shared by a group of people.” —Paul
Ford
“This book is a recall notice for all of
us who learned a flawed leadership model. Paul Ford has a
unique ability to take lessons learned through God’s work in
other cultures of the world and hold them up as mirrors of
conviction, exhortation and encouragement. Knocking Over the
Leadership Ladder is a fresh new way of looking at
leadership, discipleship and teams.” —Brad
Smith, President, Bakke Graduate University
