Pawprints on Leadership: Lessons on Leadership That I Learned from My Service Dog Bailey

Pawprints on Leadership: Lessons on Leadership That I Learned from My Service Dog Bailey

Lisa Devore | 2024

Abstract

Admiral Grace Murray Hopper (1906 – 1992), a pioneering figure in the U.S. Navy and one of the developers of the COBOL computer language, famously stated, “You manage things; you lead people.”^1,2

Both management and leadership are integral to the success of any organization. Management focuses on the operational aspects which enable an organization to function effectively and efficiently. In contrast, leadership involves a “unidirectional authority relationship that establishes order and consistency within the organization.”³ Within these frameworks are independent thinkers eager to share their diverse ideas, knowledge, and skills. The essential task is to foster an environment where individuals feel empowered to contribute without fear. This supportive atmosphere begins with understanding who you are as a leader.

Leadership transcends official titles; true leadership is defined by one’s capacity to inspire and influence others. Achieving leadership success requires introspection concerning one’s circumstances and outcomes, alongside the commitment to take proactive steps for improvement. The journey of leadership is filled with distinct challenges that each leader must confront as they evolve through both their failures and successes.

Reflecting on my experiences with my service dog, Bailey, I encountered several pivotal moments that provided valuable insights into effective leadership. Through this unusual perspective, I discerned five essential leadership lessons that highlight the significance of approachability, followership, responsibility and accountability, empowerment, and adaptability. These principles foster effective leadership and enhance team dynamics in various organizational contexts. Each element is vital in nurturing a supportive environment that encourages collaboration and growth, ultimately leading to improved performance and success.

In leadership, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Each individual’s journey is unique, shaped by their personal experiences and background, which in turn influences how they perceive, understand, and practice leadership in their lives. “Pawprints on Leadership” is a valuable guide for discovering important leadership lessons in unexpected places while encouraging self-reflection. The goal is to promote continuous improvement in leadership skills. Through this reflective process, individuals can identify opportunities for growth and development, thereby enhancing their effectiveness as leaders across various contexts.

Restoring The Broken Pillars of Pastoral Leadership

Restoring The Broken Pillars of Pastoral Leadership

Rhea Ahkeen Doswell | 2024

Abstract

“Restoring The Broken Pillars of Pastoral Leadership” presents a scholarly and biblical perspective for readers and pastoral leadership to critique. In recent years, scandals have plagued the office of pastors nationally and internationally, from comprising church budgets to unethical personal behaviors, and increased skepticism of the role of pastors. The manuscript defends a pastors need to observe ten key pillars, to contour desirable pastoral leadership. A brief description of the pillars illustrated in the manuscript includes transformational & transactional leadership styles, and accountability, which allows a pastor to receive positive feedback, such as listening attentively to peers while evaluating one’s decision-making for group growth. Delegation and management skills generate healthy boundaries for pastors to adhere to.

Ethics and ethical leadership when applied appropriately, can derive from standards and practices, generated from one’s terminal values and beliefs, and impel opportunities for pastors to make sound judgments situationally. Each pastor embodies a unique background geographically and demographically, therefore, when pastors have the flexibility to discover the foundation of self-efficacy, the occurrence leads to increased self-esteem and identifies skills and individuality. Individuality establishes layers of self-control required for effective church leadership. Self-control permits a pastor to implement persuasion principles to achieve organizational goals.

One of the stressors pastors endure relates to ministry burnout. Exploring the many facets of HRD effectiveness clarifies one’s duties and presents accessible resources to accommodate personal and professional development. Comprehending the layers of reward and coercive power develops interventive measures to avoid the abuse of one’s ministerial role.

Keywords: Transformational & Transactional Leadership, Accountability, Delegation, Management, Ethics & Ethical Leadership, Self-Efficacy, Self-Control & Power

Building Resiliency: The Art of the Pivot

Building Resiliency: The Art of the Pivot

Dontae Doughty | 2024

Abstract

Pressure to adopt models that promise varying versions of success overwhelms the field of business and leadership today. Operational leaders typically balance the internal needs of their organizations against the constantly changing constraints of external systemic relationships. Moving beyond the short-term issues to mapping out long-term effectiveness poses a continual challenge.

Building Resiliency: The Art of the Pivot empowers operational leaders to identify intervention opportunities, creating a preferred future for themselves, their executive leaders, and their organizations. The Learning Management System (LMS) teaches operational leaders to use strategic foresight to uncover critical resources for pivotal decisions and anticipate emerging opportunities for pivotal interventions in environments of uncertainty and inconvenience. Through three modules focused on “Learning to Pivot,” “Managing Pivotal Change Upward,” and “Developing Pivotal Systems,” the training program resources operational leaders with the practical tools and frameworks for resilient organizational decision-making, especially in non-profit organizations.

Learning to Pivot assists operational leaders with identifying opportunities for interventions for their preferred future, culminating with developing a “Pivot Panel” as a resilient operational decision-making aid. Managing Pivotal Change Upward equips operational leaders with a framework and replicable process to advocate for pivotal interventions, shaping organizational readiness for their executive leadership. Developing Pivotal Systems prepares operational leaders to understand causal relationships, systems thinking, and data sources to innovate resilient interventions in complex environments. By cultivating these leadership skills and resources, operational leaders can advocate and promote holistic organizational resilience practices.

Keywords: strategic foresight, organizational resilience, operational leaders, pivotal decisions, decision-making framework, systems thinking, managing up, non-profit organizations

That They May Flourish: A Servant-leadership Approach to Flourishing Followership

That They May Flourish: A Servant-leadership Approach to Flourishing Followership

Toni Er I 2024

Abstract

Followers play an integral role in the leadership process and the success of organizations. Yet, followership has not received as much recognition and attention as leadership because of the heroic view of leadership and traditional notions that followers are passive and lesser than leaders. Growing followership research shows that followers can be active co-producers of leadership outcomes and can flourish with the right leadership style and organizational culture. This paper proposes a conceptual Flourishing Followership Model comprising external and internal factors that encourage effective follower behaviors and argues that servant leadership is the most suitable leadership approach to help followers flourish. It includes strategies for servant-leaders to use when developing followers so that they may flourish.

Keywords: effective follower behaviors, flourishing followership, implicit follower theories, role orientation, servant leadership

Follow Me as I Follow Christ: A Discipleship Curriculum

Follow Me as I Follow Christ: A Discipleship Curriculum

T. Martin Flowers | 2024

Abstract

“Follow Me as I Follow Christ” (FMIFC) is a curriculum designed to prepare young learners to lead based on Paul’s writings to Timothy in First and Second Timothy. The curriculum includes four modules, The Call of Leadership, Character of Leadership, Challenges of Leadership, and Charges to Leadership, which remind and inform the leader instructor while reforming and instructing the learner student. FMIFC uses Paul’s writings to Timothy to cultivate a learning environment of succession where mature leaders oversee the preparation of young leaders to take their place. The FMIFC curriculum has as its foundation two concerns Paul had regarding Timothy – being a youthful leader (1 Tim. 4:12) and his ability to groom generational successors given their relationship (2 Tim. 2:2). The curriculum includes a workbook that allows the participants to work their way through critical passages, apply lessons learned, and connect Scripture with scholarly research. Many churches do not have a succession plan, nor are they making any preparations for the departure of their leadership. This curriculum will provide them with a tool for implementation. The foundational objectives for effectiveness emphasized in this course are: 1) For young learners to develop the confidence and competence required to lead a local church within two years; 2) For older leaders (instructors) to have a Pauline Development Guide to assess young learner development; and 3) For leaders to have the courage and content to hold other leaders accountable.

The Greatest Shall Be the Servant Of All

The Greatest Shall Be the Servant Of All – Understanding God’s Desire for the Five-Fold Ministry Gifts

Chauncey Fourte | 2024

Abstract

From the beginning, ministry has always been about serving others and not being served. Jesus Himself stated in Mark 10:45 that He did not come to be served but to serve. However, in our contemporary society, there are all kinds of unbiblical ministry models out there. Unfortunately, many of these models center around people ministering to their leaders rather than vice-versa. Part of the reason for this phenomenon is that our culture loves superstars and idolizes its leaders. This mindset from the world has unfortunately found its way into the church. Despite this, God is raising up a new breed of leaders and believers who desire to follow Bible-based ministry models.

The Greatest Shall Be The Servant Of All – Understanding God’s Desire For The Five-Fold Ministry Giftsis an entryway for believers and ministry leaders to begin to understand what the Five-Fold ministry gifts are according to Ephesians 4:11-12 and how God places these leaders in the Body of Christ to serve. This biblical ministry model is founded upon the five gifts of Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors, and Teachers.

As servant leaders, these Five-Fold ministers are called to train, equip, and empower believers in fulfilling God’s call upon their lives. As more and more believers come into this understanding and start fulfilling their membership ministries, they will experience new levels of spiritual maturity and fulfillment. This book aims to bring knowledge and enlightenment regarding God’s purpose of the Five-Fold ministry gifts and the servant’s heart that these leaders are to demonstrate.

Leadership: Preparing to Relinquish Command

Leadership: Preparing to Relinquish Command

Robert H. Gains | 2024

Abstract

Many companies, large and small, neglect to pay ample consideration to their internal leadership pipelines and succession processes. The turnover of leadership positions happens almost perfunctorily. Missing or weak succession practices result in excessive turnover among senior executives and propagate substantial value annihilation for companies and their major shareholders. In-house preparation of promising executives/leaders can create consequences beyond avoiding costly interregnums. By placing impending successors in charge of new developments, companies can increase the speed of change and assess the nominee’s appropriateness for the executive/leadership position. The leader’s ability to develop trust by allowing potential successors to take on increased responsibility starts with the leader-follower relationship.

The Leadership:Preparing to Relinquish Command Curriculum is designed as a framework that provides future leaders, leaders and followers with tools, techniques, and strategies to establish successful leader-follower relationships that lead to effective succession planning in the event of the leader’s timely or untimely demise. In the course, The curriculum covers the following areas: leadership theory and practice, leadership challenges, strategic foresight, scenario planning, strategic leadership, building a learning organization, full-range leadership development, leading cross-culturally, Human resources development, and succession planning. The subject areas highlight the importance of each prism that will help prepare an organization’s leadership, followers, or students for an effective succession plan.

The curriculum aims to develop and facilitate a college or university 12-week leadership course that prepare students in practical leadership principles and theory that will promote and establish a learning culture throughout the organization. The curriculum goal is to inspire leaders and current students to develop a training system that motivates followers to seek opportunities for advancement and distinguish themselves as potential successors. The curriculum consists of three four-week phases that provide students/participants with essential leadership and leadership development lessons, examining theory, style, followership, strategic leadership, organizational learning, and succession planning. The curriculum will provide engaging experiential learning activities that will be applicable at every level of leadership. The course provides the presenter(s) with the lesson objectives, instruction method, and example discussion questions.

The curriculum is intended for a college or university setting but can be tailored for a business or church workshop setting.

Women Raising Up Women: The Power of Mentoring Relationships

Women Raising Up Women: The Power of Mentoring Relationships

Ashley Graves | 2024

Abstract

Mentorships are crucial for women’s professional, personal, and spiritual growth. Research supports that women benefit far more than men from mentoring relationships. In the professional world, women open doors for other women in leadership roles. It is vital for women to see other women in leadership roles, and women are receptive to female role models.

Intergenerational Bridges of Leadership Development in the Black Church

Intergenerational Bridges of Leadership Development in the Black Church

Leslie Harrell | 2024

Abstract

Fostering intergenerational bridges of leadership development within the Black Church is a crucial aspect of strategic leadership that has proven its efficacy over the generations. Rather than focusing solely on the Church’s historical impact, this text emphasizes the necessity of addressing current leadership development practices. By acknowledging and catering to the varying age groups represented in the Church, effective strategies for intergenerational leadership development can be established. This includes considering the Church’s culture and the roles of leadership, biblical succession planning, intentional leadership development, community engagement, and discipleship as essential components of leadership development within the Church.

Intergenerational bridges of leadership development bring the Black Church into a place of reconnecting with its leadership design and take a deliberate approach to cultivating effective leaders. By empowering leaders, the Church can strategically serve its communities and embrace its role of leadership throughout the church and the communities it serves. Approaching leadership development from an intergenerational perspective allows for bridging, that is, bringing together generations and creating meaningful connections.

Intergenerational leadership development is a powerful strategy for nurturing and propelling the Church toward its ultimate goal of spreading the transformative work of the Kingdom of God. Leaders can create an intergenerational Church design that promotes mentoring, collaboration, and growth by understanding the unique characteristics of such a Church and utilizing transformational and servant leadership theories. Intergenerational bridges create a foundation for Christian discipleship and its role of developing leaders in the Black Church through its leadership design.

Becoming a Servant Leader

Becoming a Servant Leader

Jason Bland | 2024

Abstract

Becoming a servant leader is a lifelong journey of faith, spiritual growth and maturity, the pursuit of biblical wisdom, and continual learning and development. In fact, becoming a servant leader takes heart! Deep inside each of us is a heart yearning to well up with the riches of God’s word, His wisdom, and His teaching, so that we can become the leaders He designed us to be.

As Christians, we are firm believers of the Bible as the perfect word of God (2 Timothy 3:16). As servant leaders, we depend upon God’s word as the firm foundation for the development of our character as leaders. Ultimately, this is accomplished by exploring biblical examples of servant leadership and by more fully understanding His expectations for our lives. Take for example the powerful words of the Apostle Paul when he wrote to the Ephesians. He penned the following exhortation: “…be imitators of God… walk in love…,” (Ephesians 5:1-2). Paul was encouraging the early church to model their entire lives after God, Jesus Christ. Not only were they, just as we are today, encouraged to follow His example, but they were also to focus on the importance of serving others and walking in love. This is the critical, foundational element to all things servant leadership. Without love there can be no true sense of selfless, others-focused leadership. Robert Greenleaf, the leadership scholar considered to be the father of servant leadership, is quoted the following way: “[servant leadership] begins with the natural feeling that one wants to serve, to serve first.” Greenleaf goes on to write that servant leadership “…is a long-term, transformational approach to life and work—in essence, a way of being—that has the potential for creating positive change throughout our society.” This way of being is cemented by following Jesus Christ as the prime example of servant leadership.

When we live as disciples of Jesus Christ, when we follow the teachings of the Bible, when we consistently and persistently seek the Lord’s wisdom so that we can become more and more like Christ, we will become more like servant leaders. This happens by developing key characteristics like the importance of love and selfless leadership, as well as developing a true sense of humility, practicing prayer, seeking wisdom, building trust, exhibiting courage, contentment, patience, and honesty. In this way, we can positively impact the people we lead. Just think of Jesus’ ministry and the impact He had on the people He led because of His character—it was transformative because He was a servant leader.
