Passing It On

A compelling guide to mentoring future leaders, inspired by examples from the life and work of Jesus.

“This . . . ever relevant work is a must-read for any leader or organization who desires generational longevity. Dr. Myles Munroe has done it once again.” —Larry T. Jordan, senior pastor, Covenant Pastors Fellowship

It started on a photo-safari in southern Africa when Myles Munroe observed a pride of lions going for the kill. What amazed him was not their fast-paced chase that ended with bloodied whiskers, but the moments before, when the lioness gently set her cubs on a mound where they could clearly watch and learn every detail of the hunt. From this experience, Munroe understood the inextricable link between purpose and successful succession.

This book is the pinnacle of Munroe’s dozens of books. In it he reveals the greatest leadership obligation—preparing your replacement, preserving your legacy—and inspires readers to embrace a vision for succession. He also explains how to find the courage to mentor and to overcome the pitfalls that often prevent mentoring and choosing successors; with chapters devoted specifically to fears of retirement; making room for younger players and mavericks; delicately not choosing a non-family member; how to avoid making the wrong choice; and how to transfer power.

Drawing wonderful parallels to examples from the life and work of Jesus, this thoughtful book is an essential to leading beyond your lifetime.
