Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Many of the current volumes on church leadership pertain to the church, and are addressed to leadership bodies. Others focus on leader health, numerical growth, and techniques for influence. In contrast, these, 52 Biblical Principles for Church Leaders is formatted as a personal manual, useful for the church leader and his/her character. The biblical mission of the church is redemption by saving faith in Jesus Christ. To perform it, the church must operate on biblical principles. Only then can it benefit believers and attract unbelievers. Sadly, these principles are unknown in many churches, or even ignored and disdained-- undercutting trust in church leadership. The author wrote this message to guide today's church leaders and restore that trust among leaders who embrace them. In addition, readers will be trained in biblical understanding of leadership. The reader will grow in character and in their walk with God. The 52 principles are universally applicable-- in or out of leadership, in church or out. All who incorporate these principles into their lives will enjoy greater satisfaction at all endeavors, and the commensurate success that comes with the knowledge and insight gained.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Twenty-seven countries have reached high-income status since 1990. Ten of these are in the Europe and Central Asia region and have joined the European Union. Another 20 in the region have become more prosperous since the 1990s. However, their transition to high-income status has been delayed. These middle-income countries have found that the prospects for growth to high-income status have become even more difficult since the 2007-09 global financial crisis. This reflects partly a slowdown in structural reforms at home and partly the challenges associated with a deterioration in the global environment. The concern has emerged that many countries in the region may be caught in the middle-income trap, a phase in development characterized by a recurring deceleration in growth and by per capita incomes that are systematically below the high-income threshold. To ensure that these countries overcome the obstacles to growth and achieve progress toward high-income status, policy makers need to make the transition from a strategy driven largely by investment to a strategy that is supported by the importation and diffusion of global capital, knowledge, and technology and then to a strategy that complements these with innovation. The study Greater Heights: Growing to High Income in Europe and Central Asia relies on the 3i strategy described in World Development Report 2024--Investment, Infusion, and Innovation--to propose policy options to assist middle-income countries in Europe and Central Asia in the effort to reach high-income status. Drawing on comprehensive empirical analysis, the report offers actionable recommendations that will enable policy makers to advance stronger economic growth across the region. Such a transition will require continued and sustained foundational reform to maximize the drivers of economic growth while pivoting to new transformative reforms to promote the development of more complex economic structures and institutions. These involve the need to discipline incumbents, boost the role of the private sector, strengthen the competitive environment, and reward merit. The emphasis on a strategy driven by innovation is also critically important for those countries that have already attained high-income status.
