Book excerpt: "I hate my boss." Frustration with a supervisor is the number one reason for workplace dissatisfaction. Bitterness can distract us from doing our best. While the economic toll of employee disengagement is a dollar amount larger than any of us can imagine, the relational toll is even worse. Contempt of others ultimately destroys the soul. But according to organizational leader and church bishop Todd Hunter, work can be different. He writes, "My heart sings at the thought of a fairly treated, contented and appropriately challenged workforce that experiences personal and professional growth on the job. . . . The best way to do this is to create thousands of new servant leaders." In these pages Hunter reveals the most important factor of leadership: the heart—that is, the leader's desires, beliefs and attitudes. If change in your workplace seems impossible, this book will revolutionize your leadership by beginning with your internal transformation. Are you ready to take the journey?

This book was released on 2016-01-27 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many leaders need to win (and thus humiliate others), need to get their way (and thus threaten others), need to be seen in a positive light (and thus blame others), need to give good news to those they report to (and thus intimidate others into fudging reports when necessary), and need to be seen as powerful in every setting (and thus speak condescendingly to others). Our Character at Work demonstrates that leadership is more effective and ethical when done in servant-led ways. How do you become a servant leader? It begins with your heart… Put everything you have into the care of your heart -- the hidden, causative, motivational you -- for everything you do flows from it. It is the real source of your outward life. It determines what your life amounts to. (Proverbs 4:23, author's paraphrase) Our Character at Work leads you on a personal journey, guiding you to an interior renovation of heart and soul that produces genuine and consistent servant leaders.

Download or read book The World s Most Powerful Leadership Principle written by James C. Hunter and published by WaterBrook. This book was released on 2004-06-29 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author and consultant James Hunter believes that–in the midst of numerous national corporate scandals–leaders must take a fresh look at leadership through the lens of some very ancient principles. Leadership that is authentic and effective is servant leadership–following the principles revealed in the life and ministry of Jesus Christ: “Recently it struck me that if love changes people, which I know it does, it would seem to follow that God is the source of change and growth because He is love. Put another way, when people begin loving others through their efforts and behavior, God has the opportunity to work in the lives of both the giver and the receiver.” In his new book, The World’s Most Powerful Leadership Principle, Hunter demonstrates that leadership and character development are one. But the work, and even the pain, of changing one’s self–breaking old, worn-out habits–is not easy. Hunter provides an uncomplicated, straightforward, three-step change process he has seen successfully employed by literally thousands of leaders to effect change in their lives and organizations and fulfill beneficial goals. This groundbreaking book will open the eyes of frustrated, disheartened leaders at every level and foster change for good at the personal, organizational, and societal level.
