From Shepherd to Ruler: Leadership Lessons Inspired by David


Book Description

David is one of the most perfect characters on which to do a study of leadership. We can learn a lot from David’s life. We can learn what to do and what not to do. I think both are important. No one is perfect and learning those tough lessons on someone else’s behalf is as important as learning the more positive ones. David was God’s anointed. He started as a shepherd and through God’s leadership, he became a ruler of a nation and a shepherd over His people. David did not set out to be Israel’s king. He did not set out to ‘be a leader.’ He was thrust into circumstances not of his making. He went through his own crucible time and time again. Through each experience he put more tools in his toolbox so to speak. Although not perfect by any measure, his zeal for God and faith in God became the standard that all future kings of Israel would be measured against. We can learn a lot from current and prior leaders, regardless of where we find them. Like the cook making a stew, you choose which ingredients and how much to use, and learn what works and what doesn’t work for you along the way as you perfect your recipe.

The Heart of an Executive


Book Description

In "The Heart of An Executive, Richard D. Phillips presents David, one of the most well-known figures in the Bible, as a model readers can emulate to become more effective business leaders. According to Phillips, the story of David's life -- from his humble origins as a shepherd, to his slaying of the giant Goliath, to his crowning as the king of all Israel -- is emblematic of the trials and triumphs that mark many careers in business.Like any other executive's, David's career had its stages: preparation, rise, achievement, and finally, the passing of the torch. But what set David apart, what made him the most beloved king in Israelite history, was his vision, for both himself and his people, that grew out of his faith in God. David placed God's wishes and laws before his own personal ambitions, and he inspired a similar dedication in his followers. He was the kind of leader who could, despite many challenges and setbacks, remain true to his God and his people' inspiring them to achieve theimpossible. This is precisely the kind of leader today's world needs today. No matter the size of the company, the clear and relevant lessons in "The Heart of An Executive" will enable executives to see their own challenges, recognize frustrations, realize dreams, and rekindle the fires of their weary hearts.
