A provocative down-to-earth functional approach for developing high-octane motivating skills to build race-ahead pace-setting organizations ¿ religious and non-religious based on Biblical principles. Lt. Colonel Kalivoda demonstrates that effective utilization of position and power is fully realized through dedicated service to those entrusted to us ¿ The Ones Who Get It Done. Keeping leadership and management simple in today¿s high pressure stress filled environment are brought into sharp focus. Hence, Back to Basics ¿ The Holy Bible. This fast-paced work zeroes in on the dignity of man ¿ recognizing and treating associates as children of God rather than ¿your people¿. Reliance on others is paramount. You¿re prompted to know yourself first on a journey through the book with the author. Contemporary ¿buzz words¿ as empowerment, entrepreneurship, synergism and servant leadership are shown to be nothing new.

Use it for His glory and to your best advantage for energizing your effectiveness and realizing your goals. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Author Biographical Sketch Lt.

Leadership Principles from a Renowned Agent of Change Cultures and organizations do not change without strong leadership. While many leadership books focus on management or administration, the central focus of The Conviction to Lead is on changing minds. Dr. Mohler was the driving force behind the transformation of Southern Seminary from a liberal institution of waning influence to a thriving evangelical seminary at the heart of the Southern Baptist Convention. Since then he has been one of the most prominent voices in evangelicalism, fighting for Christian principles and challenging secular culture. Using his own experiences and examples from history, Dr. Mohler demonstrates that real leadership is a transferring of conviction to others, affecting their actions, motivations, intuition, and commitment. This practical guide walks the reader through what a leader needs to know, do, and be in order to affect change.
