How to replace inner chaos with an emotional awareness that will maximize your influence and result in a calmer, less stressful, and more fulfilling life.

While many leaders train themselves on how to tune-out external distractions that keep them from being productive, they remain deaf to the inner desires and emotions churning beneath the surface. Pastor and author Clay Scroggins describes spiritual disciplines and tangible daily steps to help you incorporate four noise-cancelling habits into your daily life:

• Finding simplicity ‚Äì how does simplicity bring clarity?
• Speaking to yourself ‚Äì you’re not crazy. Many of us do it; and there are real benefits!
• Getting quiet ‚Äì silence is difficult. Why emotionally healthy leaders make time for it.
• Pressing pause ‚Äì what does the word sabbath even mean, and why is it so important–on both a practical and a spiritual level?

By embracing these habits–business, church, and ministry leaders will be able to identify and understand their emotions and develop a calm and effective leadership style.

In this follow up to his bestselling book, How to Lead When You’re Not in Charge, Clay Scroggins focuses on the real dangers of distraction and how to create space for personal evaluation and exploration.

Are you hungry to help others through leadership but don’t feel like you have the authority?

One of the greatest myths of leadership is that you must be in charge in order to lead. Great leaders don’t buy it. Great leaders–whether they have the official authority or not–learn how to be an influential presence wherever they are.

In How to Lead When You’re Not in Charge, author and pastor Clay Scroggins explains the nature of leadership and what’s needed to be a great leader–even when you answer to someone else.

Drawing from biblical principles and his experience as the lead pastor of Buckhead Church in Atlanta, Georgia, Clay will help you nurture your vision and cultivate influence with integrity and confidence, even when you lack authority in your organization or ministry.

In this book, Clay will walk you through the challenge of leadership and the four basic behaviors all great leaders have and how to cultivate them:

• Leading yourself
• Choosing positivity
• Thinking critically
• Rejecting passivity

With practical wisdom and humor, Clay Scroggins will help you free yourself to become the great leader you want to be so you can make a difference. Even when you’re not in charge.

You may not hold a position of leadership or think of yourself as a leader. But if you want to create, change, or impact the world around you–even in a modest way–then you’re guided by a leader’s impulse and shaped by a leader’s principles.

You are an aspiring leader.

But the fact is that you’ve come to this role at a time when leadership–like everything else–is rapidly changing…and too many leaders are addressing the problems of today and tomorrow with the style and substance of yesterday’s leadership. We need an update.

In The Aspiring Leader’s Guide to the Future, Clay Scroggins (author of How to Lead When You’re Not in Charge) explores nine new principles of leadership that will help leaders adapt to a changing world and work culture, such as:

• Today’s leaders lean into vulnerability.
• Today’s leaders develop relationships primarily around trust.
• Today’s leaders celebrate the successes of others.

These may seem like counter-intuitive principles, but they provide a new way forward for leaders and teams and will prove versatile in the event of change and durable in the face of conflict. With humor and a pastor’s candor, Clay will show you why the old ways need updating and what developing new leadership skills could look like for your future.

To be clear, the author does not know the future. If he did, he would have used his talents on sports betting or stock trading. What he does know is that yesterday’s leadership axioms are today’s myths and what that means. The way forward requires an understanding of the past, a conviction of what’s at stake today, and a vision for how different tomorrow will be.

You don’t have to be a young entrepreneur with big dreams or someone looking to land a leadership role just to be considered an aspiring leader. You are one now. And by developing your skills for the future, you can become today’s version of a leader worth following.

Leadership is not what it used to be and not what it once was. Too many leaders today are calibrated for a world that no longer exists. And people are demanding something so much different in leaders of today. Like a new house outfitted with the greatest VHS system on the planet, too many leaders are addressing today’s problems with the style and substance of yesterday’s leadership.

In The Aspiring Leader’s Guide to the Future Audio Study, Clay Scroggins uncovers nine counterintuitive axioms of leadership that will help leaders adapt to the rate of change while becoming today’s version of a leader worth following. For every principle of leadership, there is a counter principle that only those knee-deep in the mess of everyday life can understand. With the rapid nature of change happening today, these counter principles provide a new way forward for today’s leaders.

With disarming candor and simplicity, Clay dispels several age-old myths of what makes a great leader, showing why the old way needs updating. Today’s leaders rarely feel ready to lead, don’t always have the right people on the bus, and are more willing to be vulnerable even when they don’t have the answers. The way forward requires an understanding of the past, a conviction of what’s at stake today, and a vision for how different tomorrow will be.

There is a moment coming in your life that will require great leadership. Whether or not you’re able to rise to the occasion will be determined by how much you understand the substance and style of leadership required for today. Good news, though. You don’t have to wait for tomorrow’s leadership challenge to begin. As soon as you’re ready to see it and accept it, leading like this and not like that can start today!
