BLOOMINGTON, Minn., Nov. 7, 2012 /Christian Newswire/ -- Cultures and organizations do not change without strong leadership. While many leadership books focus on management or administration, the central focus of "The Conviction to Lead" is on changing minds.
Dr. Mohler was the driving force behind the transformation of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary from a liberal institution of waning influence to a thriving evangelical seminary at the heart of the Southern Baptist Convention. Since then he has become one of the most prominent voices in evangelicalism, fighting for Christian principles and challenging secular culture.
Using his own experiences and examples from history, Dr. Mohler demonstrates that real leadership is a transferring of conviction to others, affecting their actions, motivations, intuition, and commitment. This practical guide walks the reader through what a leader needs to know, do, and be in order to effect change.
Dr. Mohler covers important aspects of leadership, including:
- The role of passion
- The role of character and credibility
- The stewardship of power
- Bringing a simple structure to decision-making
- How to effectively deliver messages to the media
- Keys to leading in the rapidly changing digital world
These valuable insights will benefit church, business, and institutional leaders, as well as aspiring leaders.
