In this video, Harry Kraemer encourages us to be value-based leaders by embracing four basic principles.  In doing this, he puts things into perspective, and helps us better influence and relate to people.  And, by integrating these four principles into your leadership walk you will find yourself one step closer to discovering, unlocking and living your Godly destiny.

According to TedX, "Harry M. Jansen Kraemer, Jr. is a professor of management and strategy at Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management, where he teaches in the MBA and the Executive MBA programs. He is an executive partner with Madison Dearborn Partners, one of the largest private equity firms in the United States where he consults with CEOs and other senior executives of companies in MDP's extensive portfolio.

Currently, his teachings are rooted in the principles of value-based leadership, those being self-reflection, balance, true self confidence, and genuine humility, which are all highlighted in his recently published book 'From Values to Action: The Four Principles of Value-Based Leadership.'"

The E-Myth by Michael Gerber

11/6/2015

0 Comments

 

In this video from the early 1990's, Michael Gerber teaches us about business ownership - specifically entrepreneurship.  Many Christians believe that they are destined to own their own business and that they will wildly prosper.  However, small business ownership can be a prison if you are not properly prepared to think about working "on" the business instead of working "in" the business.

Being called into the world of business ownership is an exciting and challenging destiny.  It is not for the faint of heart.  This video will break down the cornerstone perspectives necessary to transform any small business from a job for the owner - into a system that works without them. These 40 minutes can, and should, change your life.

C12 shares the following case study, "Barnhart Crane - Building a GREAT Business for a GREATER Purpose, presented by Alan Barnhart, President & CEO, Barnhart Crane & Rigging.

True servant leadership produces enduring results in the lives, businesses, and stakeholders of those who practice it. The compelling story of Barnhart Crane & Rigging's rise to industry leadership over three decades while fueling vibrant Christ-centered ministry is a window into what can happen when senior company leaders serve Christ first.

Alan shares his own initial Biblical convictions about the potential dangers of wealth, key decisions made along the way to produce a distinctive Christ-honoring growth company, and practical ways they have tried to minimize any distractions related to growing company value and prominence.


Barnhart's unique, God-honoring story includes how they deliver marketplace ministry through The GROVE Group (God's Resource Operating Very Effectively), the giving arm of the company. In many ways, Barnhart Crane is an example of what can happen when we keep first things first, through humble but firm leadership, and invite others to join us in this worthy journey!"

Should you be one whose destiny leads to tremendous wealth, then this story of generosity will help you along the way to discover, unlock and live your Godly destiny.
