Listen as pastor Taylor Field (Graffiti Church, New York City) talks about his ministry, his new book, and a provocative anecdote from missions history. Find out what he says is the unifying trait of upside-down leaders, or “unleaders.”
Taylor Field’s latest book is Upside-Down Leadership: Rethinking Influence and Success. In this fascinating study, Field creatively challenges readers to flip conventional thinking on leadership upside down. He offers 10 principles, or antiprinciples, of his own and provides diverse illustrations from the lives and writings of biblical persons, great missionaries, other historic servant leaders, and contemporary witnesses. Chapter titles include: “Forget Results,” “Associate with Losers,” “Get Off the Cutting Edge,” and “Become a Nobody.”
Upside-Down Leadership is available in paperback and ebook format. Download the first chapter free here.
