Biblical Foundations and Contemporary Practices for Servant Leaders.
This book brings together the best of leadership theory and research with biblical reflection and examples of leadership in action to offer practical guidance for Christian leaders.
Combining their expertise in leadership studies and biblical studies, Justin Irving and Mark Strauss explore how leadership models have shifted from autocratic and paternalistic leader-centered models to more follower-centered ones. The authors show how contemporary theories such as transformational leadership, authentic leadership, and servant leadership take an important step toward prioritizing and empowering followers who work with leaders to achieve organizational goals. Irving and Strauss organize their book around "nine empowering practices," making it accessible to students, church leaders, and business leaders.
Integrating sound research in leadership studies with biblical and theological reflection on leadership ideas most compatible with the Christian faith, this book is an important resource for all Christian students of leadership.
