Download or read book Listening Caring Skills written by John Savage and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2010-09-01 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The secret to leadership and transformation of a group--or of another person--is the quality of the relationship one person has with another. The effective group leader or counselor will be the person who learns how to listen to other people. By studying and employing listening skills, church leaders will engage others more compassionately, allowing them to feel that their needs are being met. These skills can be used with persons who are terminally ill, inactive at church, going through a divorce, in a family with a severely ill person, unemployed, seeking a new church, grieving, traumatized by catastrophe, going through teenage adolescence, in marriage counseling, or leading a ministry team. John Savage offers eleven specific and teachable listening skills for improving relationships among those who do ministry in small-group settings or when offering counsel to others. The skills are taught through oral exercises and unfailingly helpful examples from actual congregational situations. The skills include paraphrasing, productive questions, perception check, expression of feelings and emotions, fogging, negative inquiry, behavior description, and story listening.
Download or read book Roosevelt the Party Leader 1932 1945 written by Sean J. Savage and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FDR -- the wily political opportunist glowing with charismatic charm, a leader venerated and hated with equal vigor -- such is one common notion of a president elected to an unprecedented four terms. But in this first comprehensive study of Roosevelt's leadership of the Democratic party, Sean Savage reveals a different man. He contends that, far from being a mere opportunist, Roosevelt brought to the party a conscious agenda, a longterm strategy of creating a liberal Democracy that would be an enduring majority force in American politics. The roots of Roosevelt's plan for the party ran back to his experiences with New York politics in the 1920s. It was here, Savage argues, that Roosevelt first began to perceive that a pluralistic voting base and a liberal philosophy offered the best way for Democrats to contend with the established Republican organization. With the collapse of the economy in 1929 and the discrediting of Republican fiscal policy, Roosevelt was ready to carry his views to the national scene when elected president in 1932. Through his analysis of the New Deal, Savage shows how Roosevelt made use of these programs to develop a policy agenda for the Democratic party, to establish a liberal ideology, and, most important, to create a coalition of interest groups and voting blocs that would continue to sustain the party long after his death. A significant aspect of Roosevelt's leadership was his reform of the Democratic National Committee, which was designed to make the party's organization more open and participatory in setting electoral platforms and in raising financial support. Savage's exploration of Roosevelt's party leadership offers a new perspective on the New Deal era and on one of America's great presidents that will be valuable for historians and political scientists alike.

Book excerpt: Some leaders fundamentally alter the status quo whilst others guide quietly. Most leadership books emphasise specific rules, but Tom Cronin and Michael Genovese see leadership as filled with paradox. Leadership Matters offers a different view of leadership - one that builds community and responds creatively to new situations. Cronin and Genovese argue that leadership is about more than just charisma and set leaders on to a different path - to unleash the power of paradox.
Download or read book Savage Spawn written by Jonathan Kellerman and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 1999-05-18 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thought-provoking and timely book from a #1 New York Times bestselling novelist and noted child psychologist reveals the factors that often lead to explosive and shocking juvenile violence. “Ethically and morally, kids are works in progress. Throw in psychopathy and you’ve got a soul that will never be complete.” In this powerful, disturbing book, bestselling author and noted child psychologist Jonathan Kellerman shines a penetrating light on antisocial youth—kids who kill without remorse—asserting that “psychopathic tendencies begin very early in life, as young as three, and they endure.” Criticizing our quick impulse to blame violent movies or a “morally bankrupt” society, Kellerman convinces us that it is the kids themselves who need to be examined. Carefully. How do children become cold-blooded killers? Kellerman warns that today’s aggressive bully is tomorrow’s Mafia don, cult leader, or genocidal dictator. Violently psychopathic youths possess an overriding need for power, control, and stimulation, and all display a complete lack of regard for the humanity of others. He examines the origins of psychopathy and the ever-shifting debate between nurture and nature, offering some controversial solutions to dealing with homicidal tendencies in children. As timely as today’s headlines, more gripping than fiction, Savage Spawn is a provocative look at the links between society and biology, children and violence. Kellerman’s sobering message will remain with you long after the last page is turned.

Download or read book Slow Leadership written by Adrian W. Savage and published by Pusch Ridge Publishing. This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Described as "a breakthrough book," "Slow Leadership" demolishes the myths that support an adrenaline-fueled view of business, showing instead why we must move away from our obsession with short-term results, towards a better long-term understanding of what makes working life worthwhile. As corporations become ever more obsessed with short-term goals and "meeting the numbers," people are being sacrificed to build profit, a long-hours culture is steadily taking over, and restless, macho-style management is becoming the norm. After a career spent in management on both sides of the Atlantic, Adrian W. Savage sees this situation for what it is: the natural response of leaders who believe they must boost profits by the quickest possible means, however unpleasant the consequences, because relying on innovation and creative thinking is too slow and uncertain for a world of global competition. "Slow Leadership" recognizes that good leadership takes time, thought, intelligence, attention, and wisdom. By rejecting instant answers, outdated management dogma, and the trappings of macho-style, "grab-n-go" management, this book offers a practical alternative to today's brute force approaches to increasing productivity that produce short-term wins at the cost of long-term exhaustion and collapse. The style of management that most often results from this pressure for speed and quick fixes, "Hamburger Management," is like the menu in a typical fast-food outlet: simple, plain, repetitive, and based on whatever is fastest and cheapest. "Slow Leadership" offers effective ways for returning civilization and humanity to organizations, without lowering productivity. This fascinating and provocative book willopen managers' mind to organizational truths that are seldom acknowledged - and even less often acted upon.
