There are numerous astute and creative instances of teaching and weaving societal, historical and religious leadership which would be consistent with the laws of thermodynamics. Having once been a preacher, I was also impressed with the extensive involvement of scripture, and recognition of the absolute leader - God.
Woychowski is constantly applying those laws to social situations and spiritual realities. One need not be an engineer to understand the laws of thermodynamics as elucidated.

The author is consistent and true to the full title which addresses the energy to lead and the thermodynamics of leadership. Whether you are an engineer, a parent, a pastor or anybody wishing to grow in influence in a leadership position, “The Energy to Lead” will be a must have in your leadership library.Īn excellent book and most aptly titled. He also applies the same laws to help illustrate and explain his faith and the gospel message in a unique way.
In this book, Terry looks briefly at the three laws of thermodynamics in simple layman’s terms and in the following chapters illustrates how leadership follows the same laws. The body of that speech later became the launching point of this book, “The Energy to Lead”.
Terry put these casual observations into words when he delivered the graduate student commencement address at Indiana Wesleyan University in 2003 in a speech he titled, “The Thermodynamics of Leadership”. He also saw illustrations of some of these laws of nature when he read and studied the scriptures. During his many years of leading teams of engineers during his career, Terry could not help but notice some strong parallels between the way leadership seemed to work in the workplace, and how certain laws of nature might predict they would.
