Ask yourself this question: What type of character qualifies the people God chooses to use? The question itself assumes an atypical answer, simply because it leaves out so much. To ask only about one's character seems inadequate when defining a leader. We surely need to ask about character, but also about personality, communication skills, IQ, education, previous experience, and more... don't we? Crawford Loritts disagrees. He answers the question with four simple words: Brokenness, communion, servanthood, and obedience. These four traits form the framework for Leadership as an Identity. By examining each trait, Loritts undermines many pervasive assumptions about leadership that are unbiblical. According to Loritts, God doesn't look for leaders like the world does. He looks for disciples, and ironically, as these disciples follow Him, they will lead.

The Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI) Action Cards Facilitator’s Guide Set provides instructions for conducting various activities using LPI Action cards, as well as a set of the cards. The cards, when used with the facilitator’s guide, are designed to reinforce the specific actions of the 30 LPI behaviors. In one activity, participants are provided with the opportunity to apply the LPI Behaviors to a real-life, unresolved challenging business situation. Working in small groups, the participants each write down their own challenge and take turns suggesting how the problem can be solved using various LPI Actions. The cards are the participants to keep--in the future, they can use the deck as an application tool on their own or with their team for other business issues. The facilitator will need to provide each participant with their own deck of the LPI Action Cards.

Ethical decision-making is often a puzzling challenge for business leaders. News reports describing indictments and guilty verdicts of corporate CEOs provide a sober reminder that making sound ethical decisions requires care and prior study. Ethical Essentials for Business Leaders pulls all the pieces together in a compact handbook designed for both current and future business leaders. The book offers several distinctive advantages:First, it is oriented towards the role and actions of leaders in a business environment so that reads learn how to act in order to influence good ethical decision-making as they assume leadership positions in all types of organizations.Second, it is written from a practically-minded, pro-business viewpoint by authors who have taught and practiced business ethics for many years.Third, it provides a balanced perspective regarding the appropriate role of the leader's person ethics, as informed by culture and religious belief, toward shaping organizational ethical decision-making.The book begins with a discussion of six reasons why business leaders make bad decisions, then presents an ethical decision frame-work designed to counter-balance those reasons. In other chapters, natural law is explained, the contributions of eight important philosophers are summarized, the four levels of corporate social responsibility are discussed, and the relationship between laws and ethics is presented. In the final chapter, ten steps are recommended for developing and ensuring an ethical organization.ABOUT SOPHIAOMNI PRESSThis text is published by SophiaOmni Press.
