Authentic
Leadership is the skill most needed in the majority of boards of
directors of nonprofit organizations, trade associations, religious
organizations, and churches, school boards, and other organizations
where board members serve in a non-paid position.
The Courage
to Lead is a hands on, practical leadership guide for thousands
of dedicated individuals who have been selected, elected, or have
otherwise volunteered their time to serve on a non-corporate board of
directors.
As this guide is
being written, Americans are waiting for the next shoe to drop on what
has been a time of corporate, governmental, nonprofit, and religious
scandals. These events have revealed incredible lapses of judgment,
leadership at its worst, and even criminal behavior in several respected
institutions.
Constituents,
members, and donors expect their leaders to be accountable. To be
selected or elected to a board of directors is a high honor. As
"trustees," the board is both servant to and leader of the
membership, community, or constituency. While Boards must collectively
work together to achieve organizational goals and objectives, it is the
individual member's responsibility to continually increase his or her
personal leadership capacity.
It is the author's
intent to provide those who have unselfishly donated their time to
causes they believe in with ideas and principles that can help them
become more effective servant leaders.
