Abstract

“The R.O. A. R. R. Effect: Building the Courage, Commitment, and Community to go from Managing to Leading” is a manuscript written from the perspective of a Christian leader who has overcome obstacles which have shown her the transformation and redemption that can occur when God is at the center of one’s life and leadership. Her own testimony as a developing Christan, student, and leader is shared throughout the manuscript to provide examples of an imperfect life led by a perfect God which can still result in success despite a leader’s feelings of inadequacy. By utilizing lessons from her own journey as a leadership student and professional, as well as finding deeper meaning in her life experiences and resilience, she created what she calls the R.O.A.R.R. Effect, which has helped individuals and teams through their own development and challenges. The Ripple of Orientation, Accountability, Relationships, and Resources Effect occurs when leaders take the time to better understand and use these aspects of life, combined with God’s love and law to become self-aware, servant leaders who create more meaningful, powerful connections with followers.

The manuscript covers each aspect of R.O.A.R.R. with real-life examples and leadership implications, as well as provides templated activities associated with orientation, accountability, relationships, and resources that can be utilized for team building, employee appreciation, or further growing from a management mentality to that of a Christian leader.
