Lead with Purpose: Practical Discussions on Character, Vision, Teamwork, and Effective Leadership (The Leadership Conversation Series)

Lead with Purpose
Purpose gives leadership direction. Character gives it credibility. Vision gives it a destination.
Leadership is more than holding a position, managing responsibilities, or telling people what to do. It is the daily work of building trust, communicating vision, developing people, and guiding a team toward something worthwhile.
Lead with Purpose provides practical, thought-provoking discussions about the foundational principles every leader needs. Jon Carnes explores the qualities that allow ordinary people to become trusted and effective leaders in their homes, churches, businesses, teams, and communities.
Through these leadership discussions, you will examine important subjects such as:
• The difference between leadership and management
• Building character and earning trust
• Communicating a vision others can embrace
• Accepting responsibility for your influence
• Mentoring and developing future leaders
• Establishing meaningful goals
• Making ethical decisions
• Strengthening communication and teamwork
This book is designed to do more than provide information. Each chapter encourages readers to examine their leadership, discuss important principles, and identify practical ways to grow.
Lead with Purpose is an excellent resource for individuals, leadership teams, church staffs, managers, mentors, coaches, nonprofit organizations, and community groups. Its lessons can be used during staff meetings, mentoring sessions, leadership retreats, workshops, small groups, or personal study.
You do not need an impressive title to make a difference. Wherever people look to you for guidance, encouragement, wisdom, or an example, you have an opportunity to lead.
Begin the conversation. Strengthen your character. Clarify your vision. Build a stronger team. Discover what it means to Lead with Purpose.
