Leadership Principles from a Renowned Agent of Change 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 Southern 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 been 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 affect change.

Great is no longer good enough. Beyond Great delivers a powerful new playbook of 9 core strategies to thrive in a post-COVID world where all the rules of the game are being re-written. Beyond Great answers to two fundamental questions which face business leaders today in a world shaped by daunting and disruptive technological, economic, and social change. First, what is outstanding performance in this new volatile era? Second, how do we build competitive advantage in a world with new and often uncertain rules? Supported by years of research and hands-on consulting practice, this book presents a comprehensive framework for building a high performing, resilient, adaptive, and socially responsible global company. The book begins by taking an incisive look at these disruptive forces transforming globalization, including economic nationalism; the boom in data flows and digital commerce; the rise of China; heightened public concerns about capitalism and the environment; and the emergence of borderless communities of digitally connected consumers. Distilled from the study of hundreds of companies and interviews with dozens of business leaders, the authors have distilled nine core strategies – the new winning playbook of the 21st century. Beyond Great argues that business leaders today must lead with a new kind of openness, flexibility and light-footedness, constantly layering in new strategies and operational norms atop existing ones to allow for "always-on" transformation. Leaders must master a whole new set of rules about what it takes to be "global," becoming shapeshifters adept at handling contradiction, multiplicity, and nuance. This book will show them how.

Perhaps the most important leadership conversation begins by asking: If we do not risk anything in our very comfortable world, then what is leadership really about? Bold Reinvented brings a sense of urgency to awaken the dormant leaders that surround us, starting with ourselves. Reading it, you will learn what a bold leader does, and how. The book challenges our human habit of choosing self-preservation over power to transform, revealing boldness within us to impact the world around us. It addresses our constant struggle to hold a bold vision that matters to us and the discomfort that comes with it. It invites us to understand how in that way we contribute to the smallness rather than the greatness of ourselves, our organisations and worlds. Too often we are told what to do to develop good leadership. This book does not do that. Instead, it helps us with how to think so that we know what to do to access our outstanding bold leadership. Reading this book, we learn about: our boldness that is limitless if we know where to look for it. The only reason we remain blind to our bold leadership capacity is because we are focused on surviving first. the identity we have created for ourselves that may be an illusion. We can become a much bigger, bolder identity that leaves a legacy. the structured steps within the SOUL Framework that allow us to turn difficulties on our leadership journey into allies. All we need to do is embrace the unknown and uncertainty by simply boldly daring to know. The "SOUL" framework as a central concept to this book activates the next level of our courage, consciousness and convictions, making our leadership contribution everything but small. SOUL stands for Self, Other, Universe and Legacy. Bold Reinvented helps us to take our leadership vision seriously and recognise our discomfort as merely an indication of the importance of our work so that we can exercise the leadership both us and this world are hungry for. For all those who know that being of greatest leadership service to the world is not about giving the right answers but boldly asking the right and often uncomfortable questions, the enquiries made in this book will surely leave an indelible impression.

How do you lead an organization stuck between an ending and a new beginning—when the old way of doing things no longer works but a way forward is not yet clear? Beaumont calls such in-between times liminal seasons—threshold times when the continuity of tradition disintegrates and uncertainty about the future fuels doubt and chaos. In a liminal season it simply is not helpful to pretend we understand what needs to happen next. But leaders can still lead. How to Lead When You Don’t Know Where You’re Going is a practical book of hope for tired and weary leaders who risk defining this era of ministry in terms of failure or loss. It helps leaders stand firm in a disoriented state, learning from their mistakes and leading despite the confusion. Packed with rich stories and real-world examples, Beaumont guides the reader through practices that connect the soul of the leader with the soul of the institution.

“Our Father, who art in heaven….” The opening words of the Lord’s Prayer have become so familiar that we often speak them without a thought, sometimes without any awareness that we are speaking at all. But to the disciples who first heard these words from Jesus, the prayer was a thunderbolt, a radical new way to pray that changed them and the course of history. Far from a safe series of comforting words, the Lord’s Prayer makes extraordinary claims, topples every earthly power, and announces God’s reign over all things in heaven and on earth. In this groundbreaking new book, R. Albert Mohler Jr. recaptures the urgency and transformational nature of the prayer, revealing once again its remarkable, world-upending power. Step by step, phrase by phrase, The Prayer That Turns the World Upside Down explains what these words mean and how we are to pray them. The Lord’s Prayer is the most powerful prayer in the Bible, taught by Jesus to those closest to him. We desperately need to relearn its power and practice. The Prayer That Turns the World Upside Down shows us how.

This rerelease of the popular original edition continues to speak to parents in a society where "family values" no longer seem to exist. If anything, today's community standards threaten the family. Airwaves and movie theaters are drenched with obscenities; perversion is glorified; divorce is cheap and easy; "safe sex" is promoted instead of abstinence; parental authority is undermined; sex roles are confused. For children, such cultural chaos is crippling. But in Real Family Values, parents will learn how to sort through today's moral confusion, remove it from their homes, and change the world by zeroing in on the part they love most: their families.

While this may sound simple, we often get caught up in the doing and become 'human doings' rather than 'human beings'. Leadership is a choice. No matter what level we think we are at, we need to step back and observe ourselves as leaders. Strong self-leadership is imperative in building the foundation to lead others, and influence and lead decisions.This book encompasses over 18 years' of being in the coal face of leadership and helping hundreds of leaders lead from within.Limitless Leadership is a practical guide for exploring where you are at, and what you need to do and think about to lead for even more success.
