Healthy Leadership for Thriving Organizations: Creating Contexts Where People Flourish
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
The devastating effects of toxic work environments are top news. Everyone seems to understand that healthy organizations nurture flourishing individuals and societies--what Jesus desires for all. How can Christian business and ministry leaders create a positive organizational culture and identity?
Justin Irving has spent 20 years studying, teaching, and reflecting on organizational leadership. Drawing wisdom from the Bible, contemporary leadership theory, and the insights of over 200 executive leaders, Irving provides a theological framework that makes human flourishing the driving motivation for leading organizations well. He helps readers invest in their own growth to become leaders who motivate, inspire, and nurture. But he broadens the view to help readers see how different levels of leadership—the dynamics and interdependence of teams and of the whole organization—work together. He then offers practical insights on building teams, culture, and effective communication and on navigating the storms of crisis and change.
