You may be unaware, that leading experts contend that the term \"servant-leadership\" remains either undefined or at best, underdefined. By virtue of the name, you'd expect it would be different in a good way - undeniably better! But is it?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOther observers say that today's servant-leadership modelling is deeply flawed, rarely practiced, misunderstood, and potentially harmful. Mostly, it exists as a concept that each leader defines for themselves and then self-validates.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThough trying to function as a servant-leader, isn't it true that a leader must act \"master-like\" to perform? How can one be both a master and a servant - and lead? Might role confusion be a root-cause of the common sense of disillusionment and distrust toward present-day leaders? What is the source and functional effect of these seeming contradictions?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith over six decades of combined experience at the highest levels of leadership, the authors unpack a research project that starts at the beginning. About 2,000 years ago Jesus Christ made this statement: \"with you it (leadership) will be different (and servant-like).\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo, is it? Is your leadership measurably \"different\"? Different the right ways? Is it really \"servant-like\" as intended by the first person to speak of the idea? On what basis do you assess this and know for sure? Do you have the self-awareness to recognize when your leadership methods are reflecting the \"master\" within (ego, self) and at odds with \"different and servant-like\" leadership?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe research compiled in this book uniquely links Biblical and contemporary sources, to provide relevant and practical answers to these vital questions and more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy reading this book, you will discover: \u003cbr\u003e- Why there is an inherent problem with modern-day theories of Servant-leadership. \u003cbr\u003e- The paradigm influence of the behind-the-scenes \"master\" when leading.\u003cbr\u003e- The specific \"differences\" that distinguish Servant-leaders from those who are not.\u003cbr\u003e- How to personally align the \"master\" and \"servant\" roles in your leadership.\u003cbr\u003e- A refreshing self-awareness of the internal tensions you face when trying to live the servant-leadership model.\u003cbr\u003e- An enjoyable walk-through of lessons and uncommon stories in the Bible that offer specific and powerful insight into issues of real-world leadership. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePractical to the core and refreshingly clear, this book provides a step-by-step construct of thought. You find new empowerment, awareness, leadership grounding clarity, and a fresh orientation to lead with authenticity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e FriesenPress\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/26\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781039109728\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 174\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.47d","brand":"Bruce Ratzlaff, Verna Ratzlaff","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41574644580533,"sku":"9781039109728","price":15.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_1d1f09c1-270e-4576-8a41-d84ef6f4fdf4.jpg?v=1643697208","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/leadership-different-servant-like-a-framework-of-insight-that-will-help-you-master-servant-leadership-9781039109728","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
