This book offers lessons for anyone interested in leadership and governance, including leaders and prospective leaders, members of governing boards and those who are advising governing boards, communities impacted by local non-profit or government service agencies, business leaders who are interested in all aspects of leadership and governance, and students of leadership studies. The examples of leadership and governance in this book, including both ineffective and effective leadership, come from the non-profit sector, business and industry, as well as the private and public kindergarten-12th grade and college education worlds. Some of the stories are troubling and some are reassuring while others are puzzling and yet revealing. However, the message should become clear that governing boards and organizational leaders should be held accountable if and when they allow a poisonous atmosphere to contaminate what otherwise could or should be a healthy organization. Research shows that two-thirds of people currently in leadership positions will fail, primarily due to their inability or unwillingness to work with governing boards, build and maintain a productive team and a positive work climate or because of interference from governing boards. Also, too often governing boards make poor decisions and misunderstand their role in supporting organizations. But it does not have to be that way. Leaders and governing boards can learn valuable lessons by reviewing case studies and research, such as those provided in this book.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51079440662801,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51079441285393,"sku":"CIN1937536610G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1937536610.jpg?v=1750997128"},{"product_id":"leading-us-out-of-darkness-book-garry-mcgiboney-9781632133168","title":"Leading Us Out of Darkness","description":"The lives that shaped the songs that shape our faith Their stories and lives are seldom considered or known, yet their works and influence are felt almost every day somewhere in the world and have been for centuries. They are the hymnists and their gift to the world for centuries and for the future are found in the beautiful words of their hymns. Hymnists are the poets of the spirit, the leaders of light who pull us from the dark and who help show the way back to clarity and purpose in our lives based on faith and redemption. Their hymns have survived wars, famines, plagues, the Dark Ages, revolutions, the rise and decline of church attendance, contemporary debasement of religion and anything related to worship, and many other follies and frailties of mankind. The hymns survived because of dedicated hymnists and the meaningfulness of their words to a world that always faces turmoil and challenges to faith and family. This book explores the lives of many of our favorite hymnists. The reader will find almost 400 biographies of hymnists, including their compelling stories. The reader will rejoice in the hymnist's inspirational stories, find redemption in their despair and heartbreak, and experience reassurance in their faith. The words of the hymnists help us cope with fear, search for hope, and find inspiration. When a reader explores hymns more closely and overlays the themes of the hymns with the lives of the hymnists a pattern emerges. There are numerous references to fear, hope, and inspiration, just like in the Bible. These themes are so pervasive that they need to be studied and in studying them consideration should be given to how they interconnect. Consequently, this book explores the impact that fear, hope and inspiration have on our lives and how they are linked.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51141297045777,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51141299831057,"sku":"CIN1632133164VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1632133164.jpg?v=1751088545"},{"product_id":"crisis-management-planning-for-schools-how-public-and-private-schools-can-prepar-book-garry-mcgiboney-9781530169511","title":"Crisis Management Planning for Schools: How Public and Private Schools Can Prepare for a Crisis","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51334978568465,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51334978765073,"sku":"CIN1530169518VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1530169518.jpg?v=1750990387"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-au\/collections\/author-books-by-garry-mcgiboney.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
