RUDDERED AT WORK
“Good leaders don’t work to get everyone on their side, rather good leaders work to get everyone on the same side.”
What does it mean to be ruddered? Think about someone that made a difference in your life. A person with a positive influence on you and took time to parent, teach, coach, or mentor you. Developing in your mind’s eye is the picture of a person from awhile back or maybe recently. By now you are enjoying a fond memory and reflecting on the time you shared. You are grateful because had it not been for that person, you would not be where you are today or maybe not here at all. They made a difference, that is what it means to be Ruddered.
A rudder is an instrument on a ship or airplane that steers you in a certain direction. “Even in the face of strong winds a rudder in the hands of a skilled captain can guide a huge ship.” Despite a rudder being small and out of sight it is quite powerful. Put that rudder in the hands of a skilled person, captain or leader and you have a possibility for huge impact and positive results.
Ruddered is a book about making a difference in the lives of people; first the reader, then those the reader impacts on a daily basis.
Ruddered contains the keys to business success: establish trust, acquire the best talent you can afford, train and develop your team, and be patient because it takes time.
Ruddered includes ways to embrace excellence with biblical and contemporary examples.
