Never Give Up: 7 Principles for Leading in Tough Times

by Scott Dickson, Mark R. Littleton

How to Lead When Times are Tough When the airline turmoil of 9/11 hit the industry, it was Vanguard CEO Scott Dickson’s strong faith in Jesus Christ that gave him the stamina and courage that was needed. Out of that experience came the seven principles for troubled times spelled out in this book. You will discover that to lead in tough times you must— • Put fear in its place • Remember to pray • Get God’s perspective • Provide "front-line" leadership • Communicate—often and honestly • Persevere through everything • Focus on the "bigger picture" It is my hope that the principles and suggestions in this book will open your eyes, mind, and heart to all that God can do in the stressful, up-and-down world of business. —Scott Dickson

This is a great read for any Christian in a leadership position, but ESPECIALLY in a situation where things aren't going well. This author was at the helm of a small airline that faced bankruptcy in the wake of 9/11. He talks honestly about the struggles he and his wife endured in trying to deal with issues of security, identity and faith. I was really encouraged by this book to look to the Lord in the tough times!
