Description: Leadership can be mentally, emotionally, and spiritually exhausting. The pace is relentless, the expectations weighty, the challenges daunting. What if it were possible to live and lead in a new way, full of the deep sense of contentment that all leaders yearn for? In Fulfilled: Living and Leading with Unusual Wisdom, Peace, and Joy, Kirk Byron Jones presents an enlightening alternative for the exhausted leader. The Christian theology of leadership found within these pages is based on three inner capabilities that every leader can access but which most simply ignore or disregard: stillness, awareness, and playfulness. Jones examines these influences and shows the reader how to draw upon each of them in daily life. Vibrant leaders tap into this bottomless wellspring of inner capacity. This wellspring is not the exclusive possession of the faithful few but is a gift of grace offered to us all. The fulfilled leader lives in wisdom, peace, and joy and is successful in all the most important ways. (back cover).
