 |
Effective leadership
is the key to the future for America and the church. Biblically based
leadership has become a lost art. Effective leadership accomplishes the
organizational goals, while developing the people. It produces more
leaders and it produces optimal results with minimal frustration.
As proven, Biblically based leadership principles have given way to
trends and "get it quick" schemes, the tragic results have been obvious
in business and ministry: frustrated staff members, low productivity, a
lack of personal initiation, and no sense of responsibility. Leaders are
frustrated, yet they have failed to see that Christian terminology does
not equate to scriptural approach. Leadership in America is in a crisis,
but God's Word has the solution.
In The Lost Art of Leadership,
Dr. James B. Richards draws upon his extensive leadership experience in
both the corporate and the Christian spheres. |
|
For over thirty years he
has proven that the time-honored, spiritually based leadership
principles in God's Word work -- in family, church, and every area of
the corporate world.
The Lost Art of Leadership is a book of
solutions. It is a much-needed guidebook that explains not only the
principles, but also the mechanics and techniques of effective
leadership.
Dr. Richards will introduce you to three aspects
of great leadership: modeling, mentoring and multiplication.
- Do you want people to take ownership of their job?
- Do you want people to learn the task and do it with excellence?
- Do you want more freedom to pursue the dream while the team
works?
- Do you want to be surrounded by effective leaders who get the
job done?
- Do you feel like you have to be there to get the job done right?
- Are you worn out with solving all the problems?
- Would you like more creative input from your team?
If you are ready to turn leadership frustration into productivity
with peace; if you're ready to turn average people into a Dream Team; if
you're ready for a Biblically based model where both the people and the
organization win, you're ready for The Lost Art of Leadership. |

Leadership That Builds People, Vol. I |

Leaders shape and forge the direction for a business, church, family and a
nation. In the absence of godly leadership, people turn to destructive devices
that fail to produce the desired results. We have accepted leadership concepts
that frustrate the leader and destroy the follower. Leaders and followers around
the world are struggling and giving up.
In the church and the world there is a leadership crisis. From the earliest of
times the strategic enemy has always followed the strategy. “Strike the shepherd
and the sheep will scatter.” Twentieth-century leaders no longer trust the
Biblical concept of leadership. True leadership has been substituted with
control, manipulation and coercion. Those who have been called t lead have
followed the trends of the day and abandoned the very truth that Jesus taught
and modeled concerning leadership. |
Because our current methods have failed to produce disciples, leaders have
become more forceful and followers have become more resistant. There is a
growing distrust between the leader and the follower. The Biblical agenda for
leaders to “equip through making whole” has been lost in the struggle for power
and success. Our paradigm for success has driven us to use people for the
fulfillment of our personal ministry goals.
Regardless of how many leadership conferences we attend, or how many books we
read it will all be futile until we develop the heart of a leader. The heart of
leadership is serving. Servant leadership is the only way to fulfill the
Biblical directives for leaders. It is the only way to lead and maintain
continual peace.
Leadership That Builds People, Volume 1, will help take you through a process
whereby you rediscover your call to restore the heart of a leader. Hundreds of
thousands of leaders around the world have rediscovered the joy of parent,
teacher, minister, business or government leader. |

The majority of churches in America are less than 200 people. The population
growth of our nation far exceeds the growth of the churches. While there are
many factors that contribute to this stagnation, the primary reason may be found
in our inability to develop leaders.
A single leader can effectively pastor a congregation of about 50. However, to
go beyond that requires the development of team leaders. It is at this point
that many pastors begin the downward spiral of frustration and desperation. So
many times I have heard it said, "It was so much better in the beginning." Or as
the pastor of a large church confided, "I would give this all up today if I
could just have it like it was when our church had 100 people."
The ability to produce and maintain healthy growth in an organization is
determined by our ability to develop other leaders. |
In this powerful book you
will discover how to:
- Identify potential leaders
- Develop a leadership team that is moving in a consistent direction
- Identify and avoid those who would divide and destroy
- Develop team members to their full potential
- Train leaders without adding new programs
- Give every person the opportunity to fulfill their dreams without giving up on
yours
This book is a must for every team leader and member. It will unlock the ability
to fulfill your dreams and never use or abuse people. It will open the door to
productivity with peace. |
