Narrated by: Michael Lenz

In Leadership Alive: Changing Leadership Practices in the Emerging 21st Century Culture, listeners are invited into a transformative journey through the evolving landscape of leadership. The 21st century has ushered in unprecedented challenges and opportunities, demanding a new breed of leaders—versatile, insightful, and deeply grounded in their approach. This book serves as a comprehensive guide for both seasoned and emerging leaders who seek to navigate these complex times with wisdom and effectiveness.

Grounded upon a national research project, this book delves into the essential competencies of effective leadership, structured around the holistic framework of “Head, Hands, and Heart.” It emphasizes the importance of “Head” for critical thinking and strategic planning, “Hands” for practical execution and skills application, and “Heart” for emotional intelligence and ethical decision-making. This tripartite model offers a nuanced understanding of how leaders can integrate intellectual, practical, and emotional faculties to lead with impact and empathy.

In an era marked by rapid cultural shifts, Leadership Alive also explores the elements of the changing cultural landscape in which today’s leaders operate. It addresses the complexities and nuances of leading in a postmodern world, offering practical insights and strategies for Christian leaders to navigate these challenges effectively.

Whether you are stepping into a leadership role for the first time or are a seasoned leader aiming to adapt and thrive in the changing global context, Leadership Alive equips you with the knowledge, skills, and heart to lead with confidence and integrity. It’s more than just a book; it’s a roadmap for developing the leadership capabilities required in the dynamic and ever-evolving culture.
