Download or read book WHY DO WE CALL THEM LEADERS written by Rande Somma and published by BookLocker.com, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-12-15 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is about the leadership culture in America today where a leader choosing their self-interest over their stated duties and obligations has, over time, morphed from being the exception to today it being the norm. The author, Rande Somma, suggests that those individuals are not worthy of being called a leader of any kind. More appropriately they should be referred to as frauds. There are many good leadership “how to” books on the market today. However, through Rande’s personal experiences, there is a huge separation between words describing what leaders should be doing as compared to their real agenda and behavior… talk the talk versus walk the talk. Rande personally led a Fortune 100 international business where he and his team made the commitment to meet financial objectives by operating through the company’s Core Values, including Integrity and Our People, and not by ignoring them. The company’s performance was exceptional however, more importantly, because the results were legitimate. After moving into leadership positions in a variety of different organizations in an oversight role, Rande takes the reader into the board rooms and private conversations where he unexpectedly discovered that what he experience in the company that he led was an exception and not at all typical. Based on Rande’s observations over time he leads the reader through the logic where he concludes that “Wrong” has shifted to being “Wrong but Acceptable” and consequently “Right” shifted be being merely an inconvenience, maybe even a threat. So, because of the erosion of the standards frauds fall into the “Qualified” category. And frauds have no problem complying with the disgusting associated operating behavior because they place no value on integrity, honor or shame. The book contends that there has been another critical shift in America’s leadership culture today. While there have always been organizations where we expected frauds to exist, ie. Politics, Corporate America and Religion, the book expresses an observation that organizations that we never would have thought would be infected the culture of frauds have indeed been infected. For example, institutions such as the Media, Military, Justice, Academia, and yes to some degree even parents. Rande presents the case that this corrupt standard of today’s leadership culture is spreading. Its adoption is gaining momentum and becoming deeply rooted. Rande expresses a sense of urgency and a need for a reset before our country hits a point where a correction is no longer an option. The book offers some ideas on things that could be done to begin to move the needle back in the right direction.

Download or read book The Worship Pastor written by Zac M. Hicks and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2016-10-11 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern worship leaders are restless. They have inherited a model of leadership that equates leading worship with being a rock star. But leading worship is more than a performance, it's about shaping souls and making disciples. Every worship leader is really a pastor. The Worship Pastor is a practical and biblical introduction to this essential pastoral role. Filled with engaging, illustrative stories it is organized to address questions of theory and practice, striving to balance conversational accessibility with informed instruction. Part One presents a series of evocative "vignettes"--intriguing and descriptive titles and metaphors of who a Worship Pastor is and what he or she does. It shows the Worship Pastor as Church-Lover, Disciple Maker, Corporate Mystic, and Doxological Philosopher. Part Two covers specific roles related to ministry within the worship service itself--the Worship Pastor as Theological Dietician, Caregiver, Mortician, Emotional Shepherd, War General, Prophetic Guardian, Missional Historian, and Liturgical Architect. Part Three looks at ministry beyond the worship service--the Worship Pastor as Visionary Teacher, Evangelist, Artist Chaplain, and Team Leader. While some worship leaders are eager to embrace their pastoral role, many are lost and confused or lack the resources of time or money to figure out what this role looks like. Pastor Zac Hicks gives us a clear guide to leading worship, one that takes the pastoral call seriously.

Download or read book The Menshevik Leaders in the Russian Revolution written by Ziva Galili and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2019-02-19 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the end of Febraury 1917 the tsarist government of Russia collapsed in a whirlwind of demonstrations by the workers and soldier of Petrograd. Ziva Galili tells how the moderate socialists, or Mensheviks, then attempted to prevent the conflicts between the newly formed liberal Provisional Government (the "bourgeois" camp) and the Petrograd Soviet (the "democractic" camp) from escalating into civil war--and how, in October of that same year, they finally failed. Placing narrative history in a broad social and political context, she creates an absorbing study of idealists who tried in vain to reflect as well as to contain the unfolding revolutionary process. Galili focuses on the Menshevik Revolutionary Defensists who became the leaders of the Petrograd Soviet and of the all-Russian network of soviets. She examines Menshevik political strategy as well as the three-way interaction between Mnesheviks (both in the Soviet and the Provisional Government), workers, and indsutrialists. She emphasizes the perpceptual and interactive aspects of the analysis of revolutions: the relations between social realities, perceptions of realities, and the formulation of political strategies; the roles of rhetorics and societal conflict in shaping social identities; and the impact of political authority and state institutions on the terms of social interaction. Ziva Galili is Associate Professor of History at Rutgers University. She is coeditor and annotator of The Making of Three Russian Revolutionsaries: Voice from the Menshevik Past (Cambridge).
