Customer Reviews

Want to keep your heart in Business. This is a must read!!!

Jim does an incredible job bringing the Bible to the forefront of our entire life. He shows just how many ways we can continue to use the identity we have as God's children in our everyday life. No matter if Personal and Professional, this book gives you daily reminders of how to manage our thoughts and actions throughout the day in a way God intended us to. This book is not a onetime read, rather continual reference of how each whole day is a chapter in our spiritual lives. I have often felt we needed to bring our personal walk with God more into professional work. Jim has shown us how to do this in "The One Year Mini for Leaders". This is a must have for all leaders.

One Year Mini for Leaders

I use this book on a regular basis to encourage and motivate both paid staff managers and our large crew of volunteers.

The One Year Mini For Leaders is a great read for daily inspiration!

I love the One Year Mini For Leaders because of the easy access and short but powerful daily readings. I enjoy the topics used that impacy me as a leader that I can apply to my life or use with others to influence them when interacting with my clients or colleagues. Jim Seybert's writing makes you "think" and he has a great way of combining the daily writings with the bible, which helps me apply the principles to my leadership development and personal life. I would reccomend this book to anyone in a leadership role and for those who are influencers of others!

Bite Sized Pieces of Leadership Wisdom

Gaining wisdom on leadership is best taken in bite sized pieces that can be understood and put into practice. Jim's book does just that for the reader. Everyone can benefit from the wisdom throughout this book and the person that takes what is said and finds a way to implement in real life circumstances will be better off.

Prioritize Core Values

This book asks the $64,000 question. "What is most important in your organization? Is quality more important than innovation? Does customer service take precedence over quality? Are profits a higher priority than integrity?" Author Jim Seybert adds, "It's not enough to have a list of core values. They need to be prioritized so there's no question about which has a higher value when push comes to shove." This leadership nugget was from the September 30 devotional selection from Seybert's insightful book. It's the perfect gift book for donors, board members and other leaders in your organization. There are 12 themes addressed including Action, Communication, Focus, Future, History, Integrity, Staff, Success, Time, Uniqueness, Vision and Wisdom. Each day (January 1 to December 31) features a verse from the New Living Translation, a leadership insight, and a bottom line comment. You'll find dozens of street-smart gems like, "What you say in the elevator can become policy by tomorrow morning, so be careful what you say and where you say it." In the "Meeting Bucket" chapter of my book, Mastering The Management Buckets: 20 Critical Competencies for Leading Your Business or Non-profit, I suggest, like Patrick Lencioni, that you host a weekly staff meeting for your department, team or entire staff. You might try these two questions at your next weekly staff meeting: 1) Who would like to stand up, put their hand on their heart, and recite our organization's core values? 2) In groups of three, prioritize our core values. If "push comes to shove," which core value is the most important?
