He maketh me to lie down in green pastures;
He leadeth me bedside the still waters;
He restoreth my soul.
Today's professionals need reliable models to teach them how to
become better leaders. In this remarkable book, leadership experts
Blaine McCormick and David Davenport introduce us to a new kind of
leader by offering a new image of leadership— the leader as
shepherd.
Drawing on the wisdom of the timeless Twenty-Third Psalm, King
David's psalm, the authors provide professionals with ancient
wisdom for grappling with today's leadership challenges.
Shepherd Leadership offers a much-needed lens through which
to consider our own leadership as well as the leadership of those
around us. This important book teaches us important lessons about
leadership: we can be vigilant without being adversarial, we can
serve without being passive, and we can guide without commanding.
Shepherd Leadership offers a visionary new model for transforming
leadership practices in both corporate and small business settings.
This is whole-person leadership. It's not just a matter of thinking
or doing things a certain way. It's a fully integrated life—
a matter of head and hand and heart. It's a way of thinking and
doing and being.
