Description - Lodge Leadership: A Five Step Guide to Masonic Reform by James T Tresner

As it is with many things in life, when we have achieved the end goal, the diploma, the last degree, there arises the question, "Now what?" For the young Master Mason who is looking to make his mark in the Fraternity, this book is intended to answer the question, "Now what?" Lodge Leadership starts Masons, young and old, on the quest of becoming a better leader. Detailed in the book is a five step program to help members prepare and execute the skills of an excellent leader. The five step program starts with the investigation. Brother Nelson explains some of the best methods used to execute a productive investigation. Then Nelson presents the importance of being a mentor and clarifies ways to do it. He challenges readers to learn the ritual with exactness and to study the code. Each of these four chapters ends with three challenges to the reader to help implement what they have read, thereby refining their skills as a leader The fifth step to Nelson's Masonic Reform is leadership. Nelson details preparations, growth and maturity of leadership and how the reader can best serve and grow as a leader of their Lodge. Again Nelson sets forth challenges to the reader to help prepare them for leadership within, as well as without, their own Lodge. Finally, Nelson concludes with sobering challenges and encourages the reader to question their motives and desires to lead. Speaking plainly, Nelson shows how we often allow for personal treason in our lives, and how narcissism has crept into the order of the Freemasons. Nelson has accomplished a raw guide to Masonic reform. Re-affirming the importance of learning and study in Freemasonry, Nelson makes the very important point that it is ultimately the responsibility of the individual Mason to transform the leadership of the fraternity and propel the Freemasons into the new era.
