Leaders Can Come This Close But Can Then Become This Challenged? Accept And Rise To This Reality

These three able men came this close to Jesus Christ and learned so much. They learned a lot but they had so much yet to learn and so do we.

In Luke Chapter 9 at verse 28, we read of Jesus Christ taking Peter, James, and John, up onto a mountain to pray. It is as if these three men were closer to Christ than the others - able to take more than the others. You can come as close to Jesus Christ as you want to.

Providing A Blueprint For Generational Leadership

Developing an understanding of the specific ways in which Generations X and Y view the world will provide your organization with valuable insight into how to attract, sustain and motivate the younger generations.

Qualities For Global Leadership - Nu Leadership Series

“ Every failure is a blessing in disguise, providing it teaches some needed lesson one could not have learned without it. Most so-called Failures are only temporary defeats.”

Napoleon Hill

The world has changed. Nations are no longer limited or isolated. Technology has brought us closer. No one can hide or feel safe with terrorism on the rise. Likewise, contemporary leaders cannot hide from the economic consequences of a global market. Globalization has brought the world together. Jreisat, author of Governance in a Globalizing World, argues that globalization provides a deepening of intercontinental relationships and “worldwide interconnectedness in all aspects of contemporary social life, from the cultural to the criminal, the financial to the spiritual.” Peter and Donnelly, authors of Designing the Global Corporation, maintain that there are several factors, including structure and culture, that impede or facilitate a company globally. Furthermore, noted author Galbraith further maintains that companies must understand their competitors and determine whether they can transfer to their competitive advantage in an international environment.
