Healthy Leadership for Thriving Organizations - Creating Contexts Where People Flourish

Justin A. Irving

Summary

Outreach 2025 Resource of the Year (Leadership) 
 
The devastating effects of toxic work environments are top news. Everyone seems to understand that healthy organizations nurture flourishing individuals and societies--flourishing that Jesus desires for all of us. How can Christian business and ministry leaders create a positive organizational culture and identity?   
 
Justin Irving has spent twenty years studying, teaching, and reflecting on organizational leadership. Drawing wisdom from the Bible, contemporary leadership theory, and the insights of over two hundred executive leaders, Irving provides a theological framework that makes human flourishing the driving motivation for leading organizations well. He helps readers invest in their own growth to become leaders who motivate, inspire, and nurture. But he broadens the view to help readers see how different levels of leadership--the dynamics and interdependence of teams and of the whole organization--work together. He then offers practical insights on building teams, culture, and effective communication and on navigating the storms of crisis and change.

Spiritual Keys to Unlocking Job...

David Giffin

David Giffin is a retired international senior human resources/operations executive and consultant with experience in a broad range of businesses. During his career, he lost his job twice. The first time, he lost his position as vice president of human resources in 1991 and experienced the typical emotions associated with the loss of a job: grief, anger, worry, fear, impatience, loneliness. Reflecting later, he believes those emotions revealed the shallowness of his relationship with God, driving him to grow his faith significantly in the coming years.
Ten years later in 2001, he lost his job a second time. This time, however, he didn't try to go through the search process alone; he did it with God. The contrast was dramatic, and as a result, he felt called by God to share the sense of peace he experienced the second time around by ministering to others who have lost their jobs. Spiritual Keys to Unlocking Your Job Search Success is a result of that calling.
The book contrasts two job loss journeys experienced by the author. The first search was difficult. But the second search, with God, was rewarding and peaceful. The book, utilizing scripture of God's promise to walk alongside the job seeker, describes a journey with God dealing with emotions of a job loss, how to implement a Two-Pronged Job Search Strategy, and Faith Strategy to guide the reader through their journey.
David and Nancy live in Chesterfield, Missouri, with their son, daughter-in-law, and two grandchildren who live nearby. David is an elder at Bonhomme Presbyterian Church, has been a youth sports coach, mentor, adult Sunday school leader, and served in the U.S. Army Security Agency. He currently serves on the board of a Christian-based senior living community.
