I’m currently working on a new audiobook project, my first with friend David Harwood, founder of The Love of God Project.
Discover the timeless wisdom that can transform your leadership style in Leaders, Do Unto Others: Brief Meditations on Leading and Learning and Loving.
Rooted in both personal experience and profound biblical insights, this compelling guide takes you on a journey from misunderstanding and authoritarianism to compassionate and effective leadership.
Author David Harwood shares his poignant story of self-discovery and divine revelation. In the mid-70s and early 80s, David, a young and inexperienced leader, navigated the turbulent waters of church leadership.
Confronted and challenged by a fellow believer about his authoritarian ways, David embarked on a quest for truth. He delved into countless books, articles, and seminars on pastoral theology, only to find conflicting viewpoints and increasing frustration.
In a moment of clarity, David turned to sincere prayer and Scripture, where he found his answer in the words of Jesus: “In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you…” (Matthew 7:12).
This Golden Rule became his guiding principle, illuminating the path to a leadership style that is empathetic, relational, and grounded in mutual respect and love.
Leaders, Do Unto Others: Brief Meditations on Leading and Learning and Loving is more than just a book on leadership; it is a heartfelt testament to the power of humility, prayer, and the pursuit of wisdom. David emphasizes that true leadership requires understanding, compassion, and a commitment to treat others as we wish to be treated. He provides practical advice on how to apply the Golden Rule in various leadership situations, stressing that each individual is unique and deserves personalized attention.
This book is a must-read for anyone in a leadership role—whether in the church, business, or community. It challenges the outcome-driven culture of modern leadership and underscores the importance of building genuine relationships based on the foundational Christian principle of love and respect.
Embrace a leadership style that honors God and transforms lives. Let Leaders, Do Unto Others: Brief Meditations on Leading and Learning and Loving guide you to become the leader you’ve always wanted to follow!
Keep posted for updates for when this audiobook is released.
