Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In "The Heart of An Executive, Richard D. Phillips presents David, one of the most well-known figures in the Bible, as a model readers can emulate to become more effective business leaders. According to Phillips, the story of David's life -- from his humble origins as a shepherd, to his slaying of the giant Goliath, to his crowning as the king of all Israel -- is emblematic of the trials and triumphs that mark many careers in business.Like any other executive's, David's career had its stages: preparation, rise, achievement, and finally, the passing of the torch. But what set David apart, what made him the most beloved king in Israelite history, was his vision, for both himself and his people, that grew out of his faith in God. David placed God's wishes and laws before his own personal ambitions, and he inspired a similar dedication in his followers. He was the kind of leader who could, despite many challenges and setbacks, remain true to his God and his people' inspiring them to achieve theimpossible. This is precisely the kind of leader today's world needs today. No matter the size of the company, the clear and relevant lessons in "The Heart of An Executive" will enable executives to see their own challenges, recognize frustrations, realize dreams, and rekindle the fires of their weary hearts.

Download or read book Thirty Days With King David written by Larry Buxton and published by Read the Spirit Books. This book was released on 2020-09-15 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In turbulent times, King David united a nation—and his hard-earned wisdom can bring us together today. This new 30 Days With book offers a month of readings plus ideas for small-group discussion. David ranks among the world’s greatest heroes for defeating Goliath and best-selling authors for writing Psalms. He is honored by Jews, Christians and Muslims. In this book, pastor, educator and leadership coach Larry Buxton shows us how David embodies 14 crucial values shared by effective leaders to this day. Just as the first volume in this series invites readers to spend 30 Days With Abraham Lincoln, one of the greatest unifying figures in American history, Buxton’s book is a call for all of us to remember values that unite us. Buxton dedicates “this book to everyone who believes that the character of any leader is of critical importance to our nation, our institutions, our congregations and our homes; and to all those who seek to let God shape their character as more virtuous human beings, that their influence may spread to heal our world.” Answering that call in the opening pages are two nationally known political leaders—one a Democrat and one a Republican, who came together in these pages to urge all of us to read these 30 short stories drawn from David’s often tragically learned lessons about life. In his Foreword, U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine writes: “From the blockbuster arc of David’s life, Larry Buxton assembles 30 short chapters on key leadership traits—patience, vision, humility, integrity, openness, tenderness, forgiveness, courage, gratitude, self-control, surrender, perseverance, calmness, justice. Buxton helps us see how David either exhibited these values or catastrophically failed to achieve them. The chapters are probing and conversational—with references from the worlds of literature, sports, politics and entertainment to illustrate how to apply these lessons to our everyday challenges.” In his Preface, Andrew H. Card, who served in Washington D.C. during two Bush administrations, writes: “No matter what your faith or tradition of worship—and, no matter your role in business, management, philanthropy, sports, politics, government or family—you will find the adventures in these 30 daily readings extremely relevant and highly motivating. We need to meet David again through Larry Buxton's wise retelling of these stories—so that we all can lift up the best values in leadership in our institutions, our nation and our world.”

Download or read book From Shepherd to Ruler Leadership Lessons Inspired by David written by Vinnie Venturella and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2022-02-01 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David is one of the most perfect characters on which to do a study of leadership. We can learn a lot from David’s life. We can learn what to do and what not to do. I think both are important. No one is perfect and learning those tough lessons on someone else’s behalf is as important as learning the more positive ones. David was God’s anointed. He started as a shepherd and through God’s leadership, he became a ruler of a nation and a shepherd over His people. David did not set out to be Israel’s king. He did not set out to ‘be a leader.’ He was thrust into circumstances not of his making. He went through his own crucible time and time again. Through each experience he put more tools in his toolbox so to speak. Although not perfect by any measure, his zeal for God and faith in God became the standard that all future kings of Israel would be measured against. We can learn a lot from current and prior leaders, regardless of where we find them. Like the cook making a stew, you choose which ingredients and how much to use, and learn what works and what doesn’t work for you along the way as you perfect your recipe.

Download or read book Spiritual Leadership in The Pattern of David written by Zacharias Tanee Fomum and published by ZTF Books Online. This book was released on 1901 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David was anything but perfect—lustful as a husband, weak as a father, and partial as a leader—yet he is the only one in all Scripture to be called “a man after God's own heart”. What was it in David that attracted God this much? After the historic victory with Goliath, the life of this humble shepherd boy seemingly took a downward turn. In all the series of unfortunate circumstances, God was at work, rerouting his life. Starting with a group of riff-raff, this cave dweller became the leader of an exceptional army because God wanted him to become a maverick king: In battle, he modeled invincibility. In decisions, he sought God’s mind for clarity, wisdom, and equity. In loneliness, he wrote with transparent vulnerability and quiet trust. In friendship, he was loyal to the end. In statesmanship, he portrayed integrity and humility. What an outstanding man! But what is it that distinguished David as one of God's greatest men? Come along with professor Z.T. Fomum in this down-to-earth book on Spiritual Leadership, for an in-depth study on the making of this poet, musician, courageous warrior, and shepherd of God's people—a man of passion and destiny with a God-dependent life of strength and leadership worth emulating.
