Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: REAL LIFE LEADERSHIP IN A NEWFANGLED WORLD, The Essential Remedy for a Symptomatic Society is the ninth book in The Spiritual Awareness Series. Written in the style of C. S. Lewis' The Screwtape Letters, this volume speaks powerfully to the ways of spiritual life, taking us beyond mere belief in, and expression of, ego and collective consciousness-the newfangled world. Posed in a series of letters written as the year 2012 approaches, the impending end of the Mayan calendar prompts a concerned father to write his family, describing how he has come to see a very different way of exercising life, for individual fulfillment but also for the greater good. Leadership for this new era takes on a very different perspective: listening within for Truth and then leading life from that single inalienable premise. In this are all graced with the utmost dignity, fulfilled through the integrity of living true to one's calling. This penetrating exchange will empower readers to become increasingly aware of the Truth that speaks within them, leading to a grace-filled celebration of what they truly are.

Download or read book The Genesis of Leadership written by Nathan Laufer and published by Jewish Lights Publishing. This book was released on 2008-02 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rich lessons of the Bible can be your leadership guidebook. Successful leaders don't rely solely on natural charisma and organizational authority as their tickets to success. Successful leadership is a learned art form and a developed discipline. You can master the art of leadership by examining the pitfalls and achievements of past leaders and penetrating the stories of our cultural and religious heritage. The Bible is the ultimate resource for learning by example: its stories of family relationships, political beginnings and even divine encounters provide valuable lessons about leading effectively. In this empowering guidebook, Nathan Laufer walks you through the stories at the very beginning of the Bible to examine the portraits of leadership success--and failure--they contain. He reveals the life-affirming values that the Bible uses to measure its leaders beginning in the Garden of Eden; analyzes the ups and downs in Abraham's, and later Joseph's, leadership journeys; and scrutinizes the many challenges faced by Moses--and God--in the books of Exodus and Numbers. Laufer draws out from Bible stories the lessons we can use every day--lessons not only of exemplary leadership, but also of failing to lead, leading with no direction and leading in the wrong direction or to a destructive destination. Through Laufer's interpretive lenses, these ancient stories come alive to inform and inspire our leadership today and offer us direction for the future. "Nathan Laufer helps us see the stories of the Bible] in new ways, he turns them into universal paradigms that relate to situations we all face every day, and he distills his insights into practical and powerful guidelines. There is no algorithm for leadership, no cookbook recipe, but it is hard to imagine a leader at any level of an enterprise whose capabilities will not be enhanced by studying this book." --from the Preface by Dr. Michael Hammer

Book excerpt: Modern business practice and scholarship have honed the laws of the leadership. To achieve success, you're supposed to - among other things - leverage your time, choose a strong team, and avoid unnecessary controversy. But what do you do when the laws of leadership collide with the teachings of Christ? What would it mean to reveal your true character to those you lead? What would it take for you to take an honest look at yourself and ask, "Am I leading from my mission … or my shadow mission?" Using stories from their own lives and ministries, Bill Hybels, John Ortberg, and Dan Allender illustrate how the laws of leadership sometimes crash head-on into the demands of discipleship, and how the decisions you make at these crossroads could affect not only you, but the destiny of those you lead. The Call to Lead includesthe previous releases from the Leadership Library series: When Leadership and Discipleship Collide, by Bill Hybels, Overcoming Your Shadow Mission, by John Ortberg, and Leading Character from Dan Allender.
Download or read book Speaking of Duke written by Richard H. Brodhead and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the course of his thirteen years as president of Duke University, Richard H. Brodhead spoke at numerous university ceremonies, community forums, and faculty meetings, and even appeared on The Colbert Report. Speaking of Duke collects dozens of these speeches, in which Brodhead speaks both to the special character and history of Duke University and to the general state of higher education. In these essays, Brodhead shows a university thinking its way forward through challenges all institutes of higher education have faced in the twenty-first century, including an expanding global horizon, an economic downturn that has left a diminished sense of opportunity and a shaken faith in the value of liberal arts education, and pressure to think more deeply about issues of equity and inclusion. His audiences range from newly arrived freshmen and new graduates—both facing uncertainty about how to build their future lives—to seasoned faculty members. On other occasions, he makes the case to the general public for the enduring importance of the humanities. What results is a portrait of Duke University in its modern chapter and the social and political climate that it shapes and is shaped by. While these speeches were given on official occasions, they are not impersonal official pronouncements; they are often quite personal and written with grace, humor, and an unwavering belief in the power of education to shape a changing world for the better. Brodhead notes that it is an underappreciated fact that a great deal of the exercise of power by a university leader is done through speaking: by articulating the aspirations of the school and the reasons for its choices, and by voicing the shared sense of mission that gives a learning community its reality. Speaking of Duke accomplishes each of those and demonstrates Brodhead's conviction that higher education is more valuable now than ever.
Download or read book Instanity written by Kevin McGary and published by Tate Publishing. This book was released on 2010-08 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our common sense, the U.S. Constitution and Declaration of Independence, and our foundations of faith are under severe attack! This has compelled Kevin McGary to write about what he observes as a new era of illogical and completely irrational agendas dominating current U.S. government leadership. McGary presents a refreshing voice with compelling evidence that speaks to how 'we the people, ' through 'blind trust' and lack of involvement, may have been wholly complicit in supporting the erosion of rights, liberties, and freedoms. He contends, collective zeal for a new era of 'hope and change' has prompted irrational support for government leadership made up of charismatic personalities grounded in the strategic use of masterful rhetoric infused with intellectual dishonesty, and devoid of substance needed to move the country forward. Through thoughtful analysis presented from multiple vantage points, McGary illuminates why and how a state of instant and selective insanity has permeated the current political spectrum. McGary is an African American with strong roots in voting democratic, and is a member of the NAACP. He confirms that while current party platforms and progressive agendas for healthcare, education and abortion have provided lofty rhetoric for the Democratic Party, they actually result in debilitating and oppressive social agendas and schemes that only perpetuate further enslavement of the 'under-privileged' and 'under-served!' He presents evidence confirming the actual social justice foundations proclaimed by our forefathers: 'life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness, ' and their human rights proclamation: 'liberty and justice for all, ' are even further undermined by current 'new era' politicians at the expense of the progressive agenda. In the end, McGary contends the U.S suffers from a lack of leadership in that there is a lack of competence and general lack of experience in the current administration. This has lead to a significant erosion of the primary foundations that have facilitated our history of success! Undermining of faith foundations and the U.S. Constitution and Declaration of Independence threatens to propel the country back into the state of oppression and tyranny it fled when becoming an independent nation. Needless to say, supporting this cycle is irrational and illogical. Doing the same things over again yet expecting different results, is Alert Einstein's definition of insanity. The culmination of the facts surrounding our current direction and support of 'progressive' leadership are carefully presented as evidence of our general state of...instani
Download or read book A New Kind of Diversity written by Tim Elmore and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2022-10-25 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In A New Kind of Diversity, bestselling author Tim Elmore brings his decades of research and leadership experience to bear on what might be the biggest, most dramatic, and most disruptive shift the American workforce has ever seen: the vast diversity of several generations living—and working—together. The past few years have brought an endless cascade of social media movements that left many of us . . . well . . . scratching our heads. #Occupy Wallstreet. #March For Our Lives. #Black Lives Matter. #MeToo. #ClimateChange. Regardless of how you might feel about these protests, each symbolizes a gap. Despite the perspectives on all sides of these causes, a clear issue remains: There is a huge gap in this country that few are taking seriously. While diversity is usually seen as an ethnic, gender, or income issue—there is a new kind of diversity that only eight percent of U.S. companies even recognize: diverse generations on teams. Long laughed off as a cliché and more recently mocked in memes #HowToConfuseMillennials and #OKBoomer hashtags, the generational gap has become an undeniable tension in the global workplace. Sadly, it has fostered: Loneliness in our workplaces. Poor communication on our teams. Reduction in revenue and team morale. Conflicting values and priorities in the office. Divisions that lead to “walls” instead of “bridges.” For the first time in history, up to five generations find themselves working alongside each other in a typical company. The result? There can be division. Interactions between people from different generations can resemble a cross-cultural relationship. Both usually possess different values and customs. At times, each generation is literally speaking a different language! How can we hope to work together when we can’t even understand each other? This book provides the tools to: Get the most out of the strengths of each age group on your team. Foster effective communication instead of isolation among people. Build bridges rather than walls so that loneliness becomes connectedness. Connect people to learn how both veterans and rookies can mentor each other.

Download or read book Leading Character written by Dr. Dan B. Allender and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2008-09-02 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effectively leading a church or ministry organization requires many things—a motivating vision, a clear mission statement, an intentional strategy, high capacity staff members. No one questions these things. However, there is another fundamental requirement without which no ministry can thrive or sustain itself for the long haul—and too often it is either ignored or disregarded, especially by those in Christian ministry. According to Andy Stanley, that fundamental requirement is systems—communication systems, decision-making systems, budgeting systems, programming systems, structural systems and more. And it is systems, perhaps more than anything else, that determine what happens—or fails to happen—in an organization. Stanley writes, “You can pray your heart out, fast your heart out, commit your heart out and surrender your heart out to initiate change or launch a new ministry, but if you fail to address your systems, there will be no change and your ministry will not thrive. It’s not because God is not interested or you’re not spiritual, it’s because God works through systems. Every time God creates something, there is something systematic and predictable about it. That doesn’t make God predictable or small; it’s just how God operates.”
