Joyful Leadership: Becoming the Light of Christ to the People You Lead with Love

Why would anyone follow you? Joyful Leadership explores this provocative question and uncovers what author Carol Gabriella Norbeck discovered from more than thirty years of research and practice. The answer goes to the heart of leadership-the relationship between leader and follower-and has two parts. First, people want leaders of great character. Second, they want to follow someone who believes leadership is about service. Norbeck gathered the best leadership ideas from her research and created the know-how and the practical steps that form the leader's character. Through facilitating hundreds of leadership workshops, she's helped leaders develop the character traits others want to follow and learn how to lead people with a servant's heart. Divided into two parts, part one focuses on loving God wholly by developing Christ-centered character traits. Part two centers on loving your neighbor through servanthood. Both parts contain core leadership practices and reflections on the Christian theology that supports them. Joyful Leadership shares practical steps that show you how to become the leader others want to follow.
