Momentary Leadership: How Leaders and Followers Realize the Power of Leadership Moments by Jeffrey L. McClellan, Ph.D., is a practical guide that rethinks what it means to lead and follow. Instead of focusing on grand theories or distant ideals, the book invites readers to see leadership as something that happens in everyday moments. McClellan explores the dynamic relationship between leaders and followers, arguing that both roles are essential and must work together for real progress. He challenges the traditional idea of the leader as a lone hero and instead highlights how true leadership emerges from shared responsibility and collaboration. Throughout the book, readers are encouraged to reflect, practice new skills, and engage with others, making the journey toward better leadership a personal and interactive experience.
Jeffrey L. McClellan's writing is clear, down-to-earth, and refreshingly honest. The narrative unfolds with practical advice and real-world examples, making complex ideas easy to grasp. The pace is steady, with each chapter building thoughtfully on the last, and the action comes in the form of exercises and prompts that encourage readers to apply what they learn right away. Leaders and followers in all walks of life are relatable and discuss the themes of mutual respect, growth, and responsibility. What I appreciated most was how the author’s own experiences and humility shine through; he doesn’t claim to have all the answers but genuinely wants to help others grow. As someone who has often felt overwhelmed by leadership books, I found this one approachable, practical, and truly motivating. Momentary Leadership makes you want to get out there and make a difference, one moment at a time.
