Synopsis

Living your Leadership is hands-on, with unique insights from the author’s service in multiple leadership proving grounds: the United States Air Force (including a combat deployment in Iraq), health systems administration, higher education, and entrepreneurship. Adding depth and dimension to on-the-ground experiences, Living your Leadership emphasizes a tailored theory-to-practice approach with applied scholarly research.

From the Blue Ink review: Chris Ewing’s Living Your Leadership could be best described as an actionable manifesto for holistic leadership. Leaning heavily on the tenets of the servant, authentic, and transformational leadership frameworks, Ewing offers a well-researched and earnestly articulated approach to being a self-examined and motivational leader.
The book is broken into two main sections: leading self and leading others. It is buttressed with footnotes on most pages and is supported by scholarly and literary research for the reader to further explore and understand the concepts presented.

The reader is first invited to grow themselves, delving into developing a practice that emphasizes critical self-reflection, examining personal biases, using critical self-reflection, and evaluating self-regulatory behaviors affirming the fundamental goodness and innate dignity of the person. An emphasis is placed on self-regulatory behaviors, on learning the tenets of integrity and the value of mentorship, on moving the motivational needle internally. The second part of the book pivots, turning the focus from ourselves onto others. The author stresses the value of leading with humility, authenticity, the importance of servanthood, and of demonstrating care for others through self-sacrificial behaviors.

Living your Leadership helps you answer the need for leaders with integrity, authenticity, empathy, and the understanding of others to move your organization in a direction that keeps employees motivated and committed.
