In this episode of The Leader’s Notebook , I conclude our series from my book 21 Seconds to Change Your World by looking at how both the Lord’s Prayer and Psalm 23 end—with the promise of forever.

In this episode of The Leader’s Notebook , I continue our series from my book 21 Seconds to Change Your World by asking a simple but important question: Have you prayed the Lord’s Prayer today?

In this episode of The Leader’s Notebook , I continue our series from my book 21 Seconds to Change Your World by turning our attention more fully to Psalm 23.

So much teaching about turnaround leadership is theoretical. Dr. Rutland explains that theory will only take you so far before the wall of reality can be the crash point. What exactly does the turnaround leader do? Dr. Rutland answers out of 53 years of leadership experience, especially in three major turn arounds.

In this episode, Dr. Rutland explains how servant leadership impacts the success of a turnaround. He says servanthood lubricates the gears of management. Without it, they grind against each other and may even grind to a halt. In the intensity and crisis of turnaround leadership, never can fray and tempers flare. Servanthood is the heart of true leadership, especially in a turnaround.

In this episode, Dr. Rutland deals with the reality that the turnaround leader faces personal challenges of growth and development. Every challenge is both an opportunity and a challenge. Some of such challenges can be extremely intimidating—the more daunting the challenge, the greater the possibility of personal growth.

Turnarounds are among the most difficult of all leadership challenges. In this episode, Dr. Rutland speaks to why some attempts succeed, and others fail. There are particular skills unique to turnarounds and, even more importantly, indispensable attitudes.
