About the Product:
"Our leadership challenge is to influence, perfect, and save souls," stresses Rulon G. Craven in this descriptive book. Ever mindful of the challenge, he here discusses various aspects of leadership, giving numerous guidelines to follow and chapter-by-chapter checklists to chart progress. With stories, examples, and experiences, many of them drawn from his years of dedicated service to the Church as a bishop, stake presidency member, mission president, and Regional Representative, he shows that faithful leaders of both sexes touch the lives of many, many people.
The book first focuses on personal awareness: the importance of understanding the responsibilities of a calling and the need for self-mastery, righteousness, faith, and divine guidance in fulfilling that calling. The author then discusses the role of the leader in interacting with other people, including his family and those he presides over.
Moving on to the "how-to's" of leadership, the book suggests specific ways to get things done, to help others solve their own problems, to influence others to fulfill their callings, to plan and conduct effective meetings, to reach goals and get desired results, to achieve organizational efficiency, to magnify the calling, and to accept callings and releases. Finally, it shows how to set up an overall leadership system which incorporates the principles, theories, and guidelines suggested throughout the book.
Leadership is not a one-man or one-woman show. So, whether you've just been called to a leadership position or have been in leadership positions for many years, Called to the Work will help you be the effective leader you were meant to be.
