Mentoring And Modeling Leadership Character

The book, Mentoring and Modeling Leadership Character, reflects on leadership character themes the author shared with emerging leaders in various settings. Chapters in the book attempt to capture his intense desire to entrust or pass on to a younger generation of leaders what has been so bountifully given to him through education, ministry assignments, relationships, reading, and life experiences. The book is an attempt to fulfill what the author understands as a key mentoring verse in Scripture: "And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others" (2 Timothy 2:2).The monographs in the book were presented originally in chapel services, commencement addresses, graduation sermons, regional and national conferences, and as a revised section of a chapter in a previous book. They begin to identify some desired outcomes in the lives of the mentored and in the person who is mentoring and modeling leadership character. "Leadership character refers to the qualities that shape the leader's motivations, responses, and moral actions in the home, on the job, and in cultural and faith communities, as expressed through communication, relationships, decision-making, and development of trust" (p. 12).The monographs are grouped thematically to explore: "The Need for Leadership Character";"The Challenges to Leadership Character"; and"The Facets of Leadership Character".The 12 monographs focus on: "Asking the Right Questions";"Pursuing Character Formation"; "Modeling and Mentoring Leadership Character";"Moving from Vision to Action to Results"; "Cultivating the Character Quality of Acceptance";"Watching the Words We Speak";"Dealing with a Sense of Betrayal";"Intentionally Nurturing the Christian Life";"Maturing Spiritually in a Diverse Christian Community";"Embracing Contentment";"Creating Space and Making Room"; and"Staying with It: The 'Grace Gift' of Tenacity".Each chapter concludes with questions for personal and/or group reflection designed to engage the reader to consider and to apply what was read."What is it about us that we want our family, friends, faith community, and new followers of Christ to catch from us?" (p. 127). This book can help to define what those specific qualities are for you and to equip you to pass them along to others.Those who read pre-published versions of the book praised it as: "...a very much needed resource in a world that is increasingly negligent of honesty and integrity. These monographs provide a valuable blueprint for leaders worldwide (cross-culturally, cross-continental, to the church and other industries)." - Filimao M. Chambo, PhD, General Superintendent, Church of the Nazarene"...filled with best practices for ethical leadership to help you represent Christ and your institution for best possible outcomes." - Edna Murugan, PhD, Online Faculty Manager, West Coast University and Ordained Elder, Church of the Nazarene "...realistic and an easy read concerning the proper way to mentor and model leadership character traits for anyone who wants to improve their management skills!" - Margaret Britt, D.B.A. Professor of Human Resource Management, Retired Mount Vernon Nazarene University

Turn mentoring into PROFITS There’s no doubt that the concept of workplace mentoring is a hot-button issue facing management today. With managers under extraordinary pressure to cut costs, streamline operations, and increase productivity, the role of mentors has become more critical than ever—particularly since studies show leaders who mentor get promoted faster and earn significantly more than those who don’t. But as with any growing workplace trend, questions remain about how to utilize mentoring so you get tangible and profitable results. This book, from two of the world’s foremost experts on business learning and employee development, answers those questions.

For you to successfully go through God’s modelling and mentoring program, I believe you need to first of all ask good focusing questions in order to find out everything you need to know about modelling and mentoring before you can make this intelligent decision. Like Jesus said in Luke 9:62 “No man having put his hand to the plough and desiring to make good work of his ploughing will look back because if he does, will make back with his plough, and the ground he ploughs will no longer be fit to be sown”. Ploughing is a process that breaks up the fallow ground, improves air circulation and enhances the water retention capacity of the soil for optimum seed growth. If the ground is not broken up, seed cannot be sown on it. A heart that is not first ploughed is not fit to receive the good seed of the Kingdom of God.

The tradition of moving from one job to another in the criminal justice profession with the belief that on departure a new person will be brought in to assume the duties of his or her predecessor is archaic and ineffective. It is rare to replace someone and have the benefit of his or her counsel and experience in learning the nuances of the job and its responsibilities. Mentoring provides a framework, whether informal or formal, to interact, support, transfer knowledge, and guide the prot©♭g©♭ to the desired goal. This book provides a blueprint of mentoring theory and practice, testing, evaluati.

This edited collection explores the variations of mentoring in India in comparison to western models, providing rich contextual interpretation and paving the way for a greater understanding of mentoring as a phenomenon. With India having the world’s largest youth population, its longstanding mentoring tradition is increasingly being replaced by emerging mentoring models in which younger generations are constantly exposed to both Indian and western influences. Paying particular attention to formal and informal mentoring models, the contributions cover the corporate sector, higher education, the developmental sector and venture capitalist-enabled entrepreneurial mentoring. Offering a uniquely non-western perspective, this innovative study also showcases both mentor and protégé perceptions of mentoring, and will be of great appeal to both practitioners and scholars of leadership.
