Donna J. Markham
1 Excellent Discussion-Starter
This book has enabled us to have some quality conversations with our senior management teams without resulting in contentious interchanges. We have been able to analyze some of the factors that have caused us to resist necessary changes in our business operations. Additionally, our Board of Directors has utilized the processes outlined in Spiritlinking to assist in working through resistances to transformative change. The book is clearly written without use of jargon.
2 Leadership for growth
In Spiritlinking Leadership, Donna Markham presents a means by which leaders in various organizational settings, profits and non-profits alike, can identify the causes and behaviors associated with organizational change. By doing so, the leader can then begin to work toward building the community of persons within the organization by recognizing and linking together strengths and weaknesses. A Spiritlinking Leader is one who builds on the strengths, assists with the weaknesses and encourages the growth of the individuals for the betterment not only of the organization but also the community worldwide. I have used this text on several occasions with students in a leadership program who have all had positive reactions to it.
