"This book deserves careful reading and discussion by adults concerned for the immediate future of Christian thought in America. . . .A familiar question is, 'What are you doing?" We are a nation of doers, activists--technicians on a large or small scale. Personal identity is in terms of being a salesman, stenographer, designer, engineer, trainer, lab technician, assembler, inspector, copy writer, draftsman, economist, or clergyman. In the home, the housewife or husband, "man around the house," is described and evaluated in terms of skills. . . . Curiously and tragically the Church in America has turned its back on the development of technology. . .[S]ince the great depression in the thirties the churches have been more and more on the sidelines, disengaged from the mainstream of American thought, occupied with private life, commonly referred to as pastoral care. This book moves beyond the analysis-paralysis of so many theological and sociological studies of Christian thought in our day, and faces squarely the crucial question of what Christianity means and does not mean in the midst of racing technology. The subject is attacked from quite different positions by both theologians and scientists. The question which each chapter addresses itself to is, "What is the relation between faith and reason in the technician mentality today?" This question is seriously dealt with by each of the writers." (from Editor's Preface, pp. 5f.) Binding strong; corners sharp; Clean text. Solid copy. Lovely artifact from more than 55 years ago.…

Hardback. Condition: New. Develop the qualities of strategic leadership and become an active contributor to the short- and long-term success of your organization Today's organizations face two daunting challenges: 1. How to create new sources of competitive advantage to sustain long-term growth, and 2. How to engage leaders at every level of the organization so that they are more proactive and forward-looking in their area of responsibility. The Art of Strategic Leadership uses a unique approach to examine what it means to be a strategic leader. Instead of focusing on the skills, behaviors, and tools found in typical books on strategic leadership, the authors shed light on the attributes and qualities necessary to lead strategic change and help transform a business. Strategic leadership is what modern leadership is all about. Organizations expect leaders to anticipate and be proactive more than ever before. In this book, the authors draw on their vast experience working directly with leaders at all levels and use an intriguing narrative to explain this inside-out approach to understanding strategic leadership. The narrative follows the journey of how one manager discovered these critically important qualities. You will experience first-hand how these values and attributes manifest in the lives of realistic leaders; how they orchestrate long-term strategic change needed for the organization to compete and survive and actively shape the future while delivering short-term results. The Art of Strategic Leadership provides the content that will help you informally assess and reflect on your own strategic leadership qualities-those that are strengths and those that indicate areas you need to develop. It will guide you as you incorporate these values and qualities into your own leadership style and become a more effective catalyst for change. This book will help you in the following ways: Develop a more proactive, forward-thinking approach to leadershipApproach strategy from both short- and long-term perspectivesAdopt the core values and principles of a strategic leaderModel the qualities exhibited by powerful leaders Strategic leaders serve as powerful examples to others in the organization.
