Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the Book The Velvet Glove of Leadership in the 2020s: Leadership Principles That Don’t Change in a Changing World is a handy reference for many of the key “arts” and “sciences” of leadership. The pace of change may be faster than ever and the challenges of a post pandemic world difficult to navigate, but there are principals that remain relevant to good leadership. Topics like communication and listening may be even more important in a world of Zoom meetings with fewer face to face opportunities to build relationships with senior leaders and subordinates alike. Even those with a long history in leadership will find useful information about the situations emerging leaders encounter on a daily basis. About the Author Dennis E. Smith has held a variety of leadership positions including a regional construction company with 85 employees, a nuclear capable field artillery battalion of 500 soldiers, and as a national director of facilities in a Fortune 500 company for over 100 hospitals nationwide. Smith also worked as an adjunct professor at Friends University in Wichita, Kansas.

An organizations goals must be focused on creating long-term value for customers. Competing in the modern global environment demands that employees throughout the organization are committed to excellence and are given the resources and opportunity to become their absolute best.

Download or read book Many Tables written by Dennis E. Smith and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2001-01-31 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens inside the church doors is its liturgy. It is there that life and fulfillment should be found, but too often today liturgy seems stale and lacking in vitality. The problem is not a lack of faith so much as it is a lack of life in the liturgy itself. In our liturgies we have let our emphasis on preserving traditional forms and expressions overrule attempts to give vital expression to the life and faith of contemporary participants. This is especially true with that part of the liturgy that is known as the Lord's Supper or eucharist. Though the practice of this sacrament is still central to the piety of most Christians today, here especially there is often a lifelessness and lack of connection with life as it is now lived. This need not be, however. The tradition is alive with meaning that we have too often overlooked. And liturgy can more effectively address the contemporary situation if we can learn better how to apply it to the aesthetic and symbolic language of today's culture. --from chapter 1
