Living Your Leadership

Grow Intentionally, Thrive with Integrity, and Serve Humbly

By: Chris Ewing

Narrated by: Michael F. Ward

Living Your Leadership is hands-on with unique insights from the author’s service in multiple leadership proving grounds: the United States Air Force (including a combat deployment in Iraq), health systems administration, higher education, and entrepreneurship.

Adding depth and dimension to on-the-ground experiences, Living your Leadership emphasizes a cultivated theory-to-practice approach with applied scholarly research.

The book is broken into two main sections: leading self, and leading others. The listener is first invited to grow themselves, delving into developing a practice that emphasizes critical self-reflection, examining personal biases, and evaluating self-regulatory behaviors affirming the fundamental goodness and innate dignity of the person. An emphasis is placed on self-regulatory behaviors, on learning the tenets of integrity and the value of mentorship, and on moving the motivational needle internally.

The second part of the book pivots, turning the focus from ourselves onto others. The author stresses the value of leading with humility, authenticity, the importance of servanthood, and demonstrating care for others through self-sacrificial behaviors.

This audiobook answers the need for leaders with integrity, authenticity, empathy, and the understanding of others to move your organization in a direction that keeps employees motivated and committed.

An excellent and easy read to develop leaders

An outstanding read for a leader (young or old) looking to hone their skills. Dr. Ewing provides a strong list of practical concepts and supporting evidence that creates an outline to either build your own personal leadership style, or improve upon your current style. Chapter summaries provide additional resources, and he does not shy away from self reflection and the importance of debriefing and improving on both successes and failures. A great read and well worth the time!
