Don't follow me. Follow Jesus!' runs a popular slogan. Yet the apostle Paul wrote, 'Follow my example, as I follow Christ.' Can we hope to echo Paul's words, or should we always be pointing away from ourselves to Christ?
This book considers four of Jesus' commands to his disciples as the basis for four models of leadership in the church which may be appropriate in different seasons of ministry:

- Follow (inspiring by example)
- Wait (faithful in obedience)
- Go (evangelistic and mission-focused)
Above all, Andrew Watson concludes that developing individual character and discipleship is an essential aspect of leadership in the church.[/custom_html]
