From the editor

Facing challenges is part and parcel of a leader’s everyday life. Living a continuously stressful and demanding life eventually takes its toll on both our work and home lives. In this issue of Leadership Advance Online, we focus on leadership principles for breakthrough. Take a moment away from life’s hectic pace to consider some deeper issues that are foundational to all that we do.

Jesus initiated a movement that outlived His own life on earth and resulted in change on a scale that few other leaders have produced. In “Leading Like Jesus for a Change,” the author looks at the leadership of Jesus in the context of His time, highlighting timeless principles of which we can grab hold.

Deborah Jenks asks some thought-provoking questions in her article titled, “Are You a Warrior in Search of Greener Pastures?” She examines the life of David, Psalm 23 and the culture we live in today to find answers for contemporary leaders.

The very soul of leadership is to grow and develop people. In order to do this, we need to communicate effectively. For this reason, we have included an insightful article that looks at the power of leadership communication, people’s innate desire for affirmation and how we can practically transform our leadership communication style.

Finally, Joel Garcia shares from his own life experiences. This honest account highlights the importance of personal renewal. He felt trapped in a bubble and was desperate for a breakthrough of some kind. By identifying and applying Jesus’ strategies for breakthrough, he has experienced amazing personal recovery, peace of mind and a variety of successes.

I trust that you will enjoy this issue!
