The Authentic Leader As Servant II Course 5: Initiation Leadership (Paperback or Softback)

ALS II Course 5: Initiation Leadership Attribute-Initiation creates the catalyst for a vision, and the vision when acted upon, produces a desired change.

The initiation of a process for a desired change is the core of the inner strength of a decisive leader in any leadership process.

Initiation leadership is the act of taking steps to originate or get something started. In general, initiative is an "individual's action that begins a process, often done without direct managerial influence." The primary outcome of the initiation attribute is that it leads to desired change; something new in the lives of the followers or organization, such as a new growth in followers, a new product or policy in an organization, or a new mission or mission agenda. How do leaders take action to begin a process of change? What are the distinguishing initiation characteristics of leaders such as Moses and Nehemiah in working according to God's agenda? How does a leader conceive a strategic vision for initiation action?. or negotiate his way to influence possible actions toward that vision? This course explores answers to these and other questions based on examples from Nehemiah (Nehemiah 1:4 through 2:6-8) and Moses and God (Exodus 3 and 4:1-14).
