Nowhere in all of history is there a greater leader than Jesus. But being a great leader in his time, to a select group of people, was not where his leadership ended. The proof of his leadership is in the continuous, generation-to-generation, culture-to-culture expansion of his teachings. By contrast, we hear so often the stories of organizations led by heroic solo leaders that decline when the lead persons depart. Or worse, the organization blows apart from a stress induced moral failure of leaders without honest accountability partners. These are leaders whose impact is only felt during their time in leadership because ego constrains their ability to share leadership. Their time ends, (as does every leader's) and the organization begins a gradual or rapid decline directly related to the amount of leadership they shared. Generative Leaders, Jesus-like leaders, have a sustained impact beyond their time in leadership through the leaders they developed as they led. The normal practice, whether in business, sports or the church, has been to identify those with "natural" leadership skills, then placing them in leadership positions and HOPE they perform. In contrast, Generative Leaders are intentional in developing leaders, constantly preparing the organization for the future by focusing on the development of leaders. That is the form of leadership needed by the American Christian church in this season. We do not need superstar heroic solo leaders but rather effective clergy and laity who lead from a paradigm of developing leaders in creative, faithful and reproductive environments. Simply put, shared leadership leads to life; solo leadership, no matter how heroic, leads to death.Generative Leadership is a challenging, patient and long-term process. Culture change and lasting transformation take time. Without a strong commitment to personal discipleship and spiritual development leaders will not have the energy and perseverance to work through this challenging task. Dan Jackson's book begins with understanding how the aligned life comes into being, to identifying and developing servant leaders, to understanding financial stewardship as a spiritual issue.Generative Leadership for the Expedition is a resource of The Greatest Expedition (greatestexpedition.com).

Why is the North East the most distinctive region of England? Where do the stereotypes about North Easterners come from, and why are they so often misunderstood? In this wideranging new history of the people of North East England, Dan Jackson explores the deep roots of Northumbrian culture--hard work and heavy drinking, sociability and sentimentality, militarism and masculinity--in centuries of border warfare and dangerous and demanding work in industry, at sea and underground. He explains how the landscape and architecture of the North East explains so much about the people who have lived there, and how a 'Northumbrian Enlightenment' emerged from this most literate part of England, leading to a catalogue of inventions that changed the world, from the locomotive to the lightbulb. Jackson's Northumbrian journey reaches right to the present day, as this remarkable region finds itself caught between an indifferent south and a newly assertive Scotland. Covering everything from the Venerable Bede and the prince-bishops of Durham to Viz and Geordie Shore, this vital new history makes sense of a part of England facing an uncertain future, but whose people remain as distinctive as ever.

Now all these things happened unto them for examples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come (1 Corinthians 10:11). We are those at the ends of the world! God's Word has given us understanding what will take place. Are you ready? But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them (2 Corinthians 4:34). But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief (1 Thessalonians 5:4). The biggest fear of man is not death, but fear of the unknown! When you understand what God's Word says, then you can make the changes in your life to be ready for His coming! "

The Leader Who Inspires is travelling the journey of life; not observing it from a theoretical perspective. This book covers the leadership essentials, providing practical insights to maximise your leadership potential. It contains two practical strategies for self-growth and a further two to apply leadership to transform your enterprise. The concept of The Leader Who Inspires is not for everyone; but it is for those who have a preference for action and an appetite to lead. A specialist in strategy and business transformation, Dan Jackson has spent a career observing leaders of all types at all levels in private and public enterprises. Thoroughly researched, The Leader Who Inspires applies grounded theory to extensive experience on how to effectively lead and transform the modern workplace. www.leaderwhoinspires.com

There is growing concern amongst observers of the media that news coverage of politics has moved away from a focus on issues, and instead towards political strategy. This emphasises the tactics employed by politicians in pursuing policy goals, as well as their performance, styles of campaigning, and personal battles in the political arena, whether it be in office, opposition, or during elections (de Vreese & Elenbaas, 2008). Strategically framed news is problematic because it portrays politicians as manipulative, power hungry and Machiavellian, and therefore invites audiences to attribute cynical motives to their actions. As a result, this type of news has been found accountable for increasing levels of political cynicism in the US electorate, which erodes civic engagement and depresses electoral participation - a process described as a media-induced spiral of cynicism (Cappella & Jamieson, 1997). This dissertation examines this type of news. Despite much concern that? driven by a number of changes to the working practices of journalists? political issues are increasingly being undermined by a narrative of strategy, there is little evidence of either the presence or effects of strategy news in the UK, especially outside of elections. This study fills some of this gap by conducting a content analysis of a non-election issue in the news media (press and TV news) over a 3 month period, whereby strategy news as a frame was examined. The issue chosen for case study was the?euro debate? of May-June 2003. The second part of the study is a framing experiment, where a sample of young people were randomly exposed to either a?strategy? or?issue? framed account of the euro debate, and then asked about their political attitudes. Content analysis findings showed the euro debate to fulfil many typical characteristics of EU reporting in the British media, with coverage cyclical and driven by events. Although there was a roughly equal balance of issue and strategy framed stories in the press, the strategy frame was more prominent in the news agenda and was more consistently spread throughout the time period. When broadcast news did cover the euro, it was usually to cover a development in the manoeuvring of political elites. Although some qualifications emerged, much of the content analysis findings confirmed the worries of media critics. Experiment findings found evidence of a?spiral of cynicism? but only for those who were less politically engaged, and their cynicism was confined to the motivations of politicians, not of the political system writ large. For the less engaged, the presentation of the euro debate through the strategy frame also suppressed their support for the euro compared to the issue version. Although some of the experiment findings should concern observers of news media performance, the evidence of this study does not support a full-blown?spiral of cynicism? in the UK.
