Full Description
Helping professionals of all types are everyday heroes who routinely and selflessly improve the lives of others. But they often don't believe or realize that they also form a valuable pool of future leaders—that their specific characteristics, distinct aptitudes, and servant leader's mindset not only prepare them, but already uncommonly equip them, to rise to the highest tiers of their organization's leadership structure.
You don't have to be either someone who does good in the world for others or someone who makes a good living running a company or managing others. You can be both—you can remain committed to the greater good of society and still lead a for-profit or nonprofit organization or become a successful entrepreneur. You can simultaneously activate your right-brain and left-brain faculties, apply your honed service-oriented side and your business-savvy side.
How does the author know this can be done? Because he did it himself! Sharing lessons learned over a 30-year career and featuring plentiful anecdotes to illustrate the pointed discussions and central themes, Doing Good and Doing Well: Inspiring Helping Professionals to Become Leaders in Their Organizations aims to inspire helpers to exercise the power they already possess and encourage them to travel a fruitful and fulfilling path to professional development and organizational leadership.
