AUTHOR'S COMMENTS
“What sets this book apart from so many other books on leadership in general, and Christian leadership more specifically, is that half of each chapter is devoted to how to make the subject of the chapter a reality in an organization.  Based on my working with many organizations over the years to develop better leaders among university presidents, business people, police officers, school teachers, health care administrators, social workers, government workers and those in the voluntary sector, and my study of Fortune Magazine’s Best Companies to Work for in America that are based on servant leadership and teamwork, I have developed for the book: 95 experiential leadership learning exercises; 17 case studies for analysis, 47 discussion group exercises, 24 individual and team assessment instruments, and a feature film study for each chapter.  With these tools in hand, I believe from my experience in training leaders, that they will be able to make Christian servant leadership a reality in their organizations.”

Servant-Empowered Leadership provides the answer. Through its tested principles and applied, hands-on exercises, you can learn to lead like the Servant King. 

CHAPTER OUTLINES

CHAPTER 1
Chapter one discusses what leadership is and is not and why every organization rises and falls on its leadership. Leadership is all about power and how leaders exercise their powerful influence in relation to their followers. This chapter also provides some means for assessing how you and others lead in a group or team setting.

CHAPTER 2
In chapter two, the misuse of that power as a selfish instrument is set against its proper use for serving others as Jesus instructed His disciples who, more than anything else, wanted to be great leaders. Thus good leadership is distinguished from just being a leader with followers.

CHAPTER 3
How servant leadership works out in an organizational construct is the focus of chapter three. What employees and volunteers most want to be engaged in is meaningful activity in which they can feel that their contributions to the organization are helping improve society and communities.

CHAPTERS 4,5
Chapter four shows how servant leadership fulfils this need for meaning through the pursuit of the organization’s vision and mission. None of this can be accomplished without establishing the means for effective two-way communication and that is the focus of chapter five.

CHAPTERS 6,7
Chapter six explains how to develop other leaders. Since servant leadership is about relating to others, teamwork is essential and this is explained in chapter seven.

CHAPTER 8
Teamwork brings people closer together, and this invariably leads to conflict, so to make teamwork a success, chapter eight focuses on how to manage conflicts in a productive manner that will build, instead of destroy, team synergy and togetherness.

CHAPTER 9
Managers find the most efficient ways for operating an organization, leaders focus on envisioning, promoting and handling change and chapter nine explains the steps for bringing about change in an organization. No one ever said that leading is easy.

CHAPTER 10
The road to leadership is filled with uncertainties and obstacles and it is easy to grow weary in this calling to leadership, so chapter ten shows how to continue to lead with passion in the face of these challenges.
