Putting It Across

"Putting It Across" is a practical and insightful guide to leadership, communication, and organizational management, designed for those seeking to effectively lead community and religious institutions. Written by William H. Leach, a noted authority on church administration, the work provides a comprehensive look at the methods required to successfully convey ideas and mobilize groups toward a shared vision.

The book focuses on the psychological and pragmatic aspects of leadership, offering strategies for public speaking, the art of persuasion, and the nuances of executive control within a voluntary organization. Leach emphasizes that effective leadership is a craft that can be developed through a disciplined approach to communication and a deep understanding of human dynamics. He provides actionable advice on how to bridge the gap between abstract plans and concrete results.

Serving as a significant historical document on the professionalization of ministry and community leadership in the early twentieth century, "Putting It Across" remains a valuable resource for understanding the foundations of institutional guidance. Its focus on interpersonal influence and the mechanics of group motivation offers timeless lessons for anyone tasked with the responsibility of "putting across" a message to an audience or congregation.
