In a bid to help create
godly leaders who can take up the mantle of leadership in every sphere of life
to bring total illumination to the world, a powerful book of about hundred and
tewnty-five pages (125) has been unveiled in Accra on Thursday July 12, 2018.
The book dubbed "Redemptive Leadership", is a masterpiece which offers perspectives into a new paradigm of leadership.
The book among other things seeks to transform, empower and enlighten leaders in the whole wide world.
Propounded by a renowned author and approved by hosts of highly acclaimed men of God, the book reflects the divine attributes of sound leadership exuded by Nehemiah, a biblical character from the ancient times.
The new masterpiece holds key principles for people who have oversight responsibility on others or calling to serve as leaders.
It is expected to shape people who are called or desirous to serve as leaders in various fields of life including leadership in church, political arena, corporate world as well as home.
Author of the book, Rev. Dr. J. B. Ghartey, an acclaimed Pentecostal Theologian, a prolific writer and a teacher, speaking at the launch in Accra said, his desire to propound the new paradigm in leadership called the Redemptive Leadership was born out of his affection for Nehemiah and his style of leadership.
He added that lack of such leadership quality among crop of leaders in recent times equally informed his decision.
According to him, upon studying the book of Nehemiah, he came to realization that there's a kind of leadership that is lacking in today's world.
"We've talked about various types and styles of leadership and so on which include autocratic, democratic, strategic, laissez-fair, facilitative and the contemporary transformational styles. Lately we're seeing a servant leadership and I've realized that we could look at another paradigm and that's redemptive leadership, exactly what Nehemiah portrays", he noted.
