The moment comes to begin a board meeting. Where does the leader
turn to find an appropriate comment to open the occasion, to prepare
the setting for doing good work? Here are dozens of two-page-long
meditations, written expressly for board meetings by seasoned board
members. Among the writers are the President of Habitat for Humanity,
International; President of the American Leprosy Mission; a newspaper
editor; a college communications teacher; pastors; storytellers; a
family counselor; chairperson of Mennonite Central Committee, the
worldwide relief organization; a college chaplain; a lobbyist on
Capitol Hill. They all write from their lives. Some are men; some
are women. Each meditation begins with a Scripture, moves on to a
personal story, and ends with a brief prayer. Each is about
leadership--the courage it requires, the clarity it demands, the
celebration it sometimes offers. | |
