Feed My Sheep, They Are Dying Dr Shirley A Young

The writing was a journey into the field of leadership, to introduce new constructs for improving behaviors and attitudes of organizational leaders. The media portrays a dynamic influence for the topic of servant leaders and not leaders benefiting extensive data about types of leaders from general, spiritual, to servant leadership. Metaphorically, if you take a glimpse into a faith-based organization, you will view the composition of a shepherd and sheep of about two thousand that require training with teaching. The twenty-first century gives a view through new lenses, revealing the church to have sheep scattering, some slowly dying with possibly "uncalled" shepherds. The faith-based organization is falling short of God's Christlike representatives (servant leaders).

"The author did an exemplary job for leadership character traits that embody skills, which if applied properly will render a leader of excellence. The resource reflects the author's conclusion to her research that servant leaders in faith-based organization serving God should influence excellence. The publication is invaluable to transform aspiring and prospective servant leaders to image traits and practices of Christ."

"Dr. Young has compiled some noteworthy evidence and research on the ideal type of transformational leadership called Servant Leadership and applied it where it is needed the most: faith-based organizational leadership. I am proud to have mentored this fine scholar as she reached for her very meaningful dreams and turned them into a reality at the completion of her earned doctorate degree."
