How to Lead When You’re Not in Charge


Clay Scroggins, Lead Pastor of North Point Community Church,
Works under Andy Stanley and Shares Advice from the Trenches

Grand Rapids, Michigan, May 2, 2017 –


How many wannabe leaders are waiting for
permission to lead? How often do potential leaders
postpone action, waiting for a title or a position to
grant them authority? Pastor and author Clay
Scroggins urges anyone who wants to lead to stop
waiting. “If you want to be a leader,” he writes,
“begin today. Begin by leading yourself.”

As lead pastor of Atlanta-area megachurch, North


Point Community Church, Scroggins provides
visionary leadership for their staff and congregation.
Yet even as he leads more than 12,000 people, Clay
is still a man under authority – he calls his boss, Andy
Stanley, “one of the best leaders on the planet.” Clay
shares insights from the trenches and from Scripture
in his first book, How To Lead When You’re Not In
Charge: Leveraging Influence When You Lack
Authority (Zondervan, August 2017).

“Great leaders know how to lead when they’re in


charge because they’ve been leading long before they
were ever given that authority,” Scroggins explains.
“You have leadership in you! If you find yourself abdicating responsibility because you’re not
in charge, step one is to recognize it. When you’re not in charge, you can still take charge of
you.”

Today, Clay speaks frequently on the topic of leadership drawing from his years of ministry
experience, the example of Jesus, and the role models he’s observed over the years. During
his childhood, he began learning from the example of his cousin Jimmy, who pastors Family
Church in West Palm Beach, Florida. As a student at Georgia Tech, Clay learned by serving
under Louie Giglio with Passion Conferences. And as he worked his way through the North
Point Ministries organizational levels—he began as a facilities intern—Clay learned from his
boss, Andy Stanley.

How To Lead When You’re Not In Charge is filled with practical, sometimes humorous
insights that offer guidance to every potential leader, whether working in the mailroom or
the conference room.

“It’s possible to lead from where you are right now,” Clay writes. “You don’t have to wait for
that future position you’ve been dreaming about to begin leading. Leadership starts right
now, wherever you are. You have everything you need to lead.”

Clay Scroggins is the lead pastor of North Point Community Church, providing visionary
and directional leadership for all the local church staff and congregation. Clay works for
Andy Stanley and understands firsthand how to manage the tension of leading when you’re
not in charge. Clay holds a degree in industrial engineering from Georgia Tech, as well as a
master’s degree and a doctorate from Dallas Theological Seminary. Clay and his wife,
Jenny, live in Forsyth County, Georgia, with their four children.
