Dr. Henry Cloud

Henry Cloud is a psychologist and possibly most famous for co-writing, together with Dr. John Townsend, the runaway best-selling book Boundaries. On his website he touts himself as "an acclaimed leadership expert, clinical psychologist and New York Times bestselling author"

In his 2008 forward to Bill Hybels' book Axiom, Henry Cloud wrote "I've seen Bill lead. I've led alongside him. And I've studied how he works. The lessons learned he offers in 'Axiom' were not born in some academic think tank. They were born in the heart and soul of a real guy who started his leadership journey with nothing more than a vision, a fair amount of energy, and and a boatload of faith. Today, his living legacy is impacting quite literally the face of the church around the globe. There are times when a good leadership coach will recommend a book to another leader or to a client. When I reviewed an advance copy of Axiom, I didn't want to recommend for my friends and clients to read it; I wanted to require them to do so. I want the same for you. You will be encouraged by Bill's empathy for your leadership burden. He has been in the trenches, and it shows. You will be comforted by his companionship as both trainer and friend. And you will be challenged to reach for the kinds of results that these proverbs have produced in Willow's mission, its incredible team of people and members, and in Bill Hybels. Get this book's principles in you. It's a simple-seeming solution, but it has the power to change everything."
