Description

Kurt April And Julia Kukard – Steward Leadership – A Maturational Perspective

Steward leadership is a form of leadership that focuses on others, the community, and society at large rather than the self, and this book creates a framework for stewardship and the requisite behavior to develop steward leaders at a younger age. Many senior leaders and executives across the globe appear to move into a stewardship mindset at a ripe age or when their careers have matured, whereas executives of around 30 years old, on average, are typically focused on self-interest. The book’s extensive research and interviews provide the theoretical as well as consulting tools with which organizations can develop stewards, whether through training programs, mentoring programs, coaching initiatives, and personal development practices.
