The Culture of Empowerment: How to Champion People

by Steve Backlund, Phil Backlund, Melissa Amato (Editor)

Have you ever been championed by someone? You have likely had times when people believed in you more than you believed in yourself and told you, “YOU CAN DO IT!” Their belief in you became a rock to stand on against the waves of insecurity, doubt, and fear in your mind. They were willing to allow you to try something challenging and new under their mentorship, and it caused you to find out there was more in you than you thought. You may not realize it, but you have been empowered by these people. This book reveals a solid biblical foundation for living a lifestyle of empowerment. Through empowering people, Jesus set an example for us and revealed the Father's heart in doing so. The Culture of Empowerment gives insight and practical tools for championing people as well as developing empowering beliefs about yourself and others.

The title says it all

This book and its principles when applied, will catapult you into being a leader who empowers and builds. It’s practical, easy to understand and apply quickly. Excellent resource!

[Sharon Rutherford · Rating 3 out of 5]

Helpful principles and practices. Too long though, and after the first few chapters where the good stuff is, it’s mostly lists of shoulds and should-nots that I find rather constricting and not always true. Better to follow the Holy Spirit :)

Helpful principles for empowering people

Many practical ideas about how to empower people to be whoGod means for them to be and to do more they they believed they could do.

Great ideas, but you will get most of the best content by reading the first few chapters.

Excellent book that is sure to become a manual. It is a leadership conference wrapped up in a book; a gift that keeps on giving. Practical direction and keen insights.

Read it for internship. DNF

[Daunavan Buyer · Rating 5 out of 5]

An easy read but a helpful read that is both extremely practical and Biblical. This book invites me to lead differently and challenges some of the negative leadership habits that are easy to fall into, especially in terms of leading leaders or interns. He invites us to be proactive in leading to empower others while constantly making others around you better. He uses a lot of lists which some may not like but it helps keep the book succinct and allows you to really drill down only when necessary. Good book!
