FROM DR. JONES: "The future of all people is tied to the leader they follow. Leadership is the driving force behind their pursuit of a better future. Without it, people lack courage, inspiration, and persistence to move forward. Leadership embraces such powerful concepts as credibility, motivation, influence, encouragement, vision, teamwork and empower-ment. The importance of leadership cannot be overstated. Families, civic clubs, universities, churches, small businesses, large corporations, athletic teams and even nations are all directly affected by the quality of their leadership. This book is devoted to providing a basic understanding of the dynamics of leadership."

DR. KEN JONES served as chancellor of Lubbock Christian University in Lubbock, Texas from 2011-2017. Previously, from 1993-2011 he served as the president of LCU. Before coming to the university, Dr. Jones served as a minister for the Churches of Christ for 11 years, and on the faculty of the Agricultural Engineering Department of Oklahoma State University for 5 years. He and His wife are now retired in his native Oklahoma.

As a university administrator, Dr. Jones put into place many leadership principles that made LCU more organizationally sound. He was also able to mentor student leaders, preparing them for a life of leadership after graduation. Under his influence, the university now offers a Master’s in Leadership degree that serves multiple academic disciplines and is offered online.

Dr. Jones has been a frequent lecturer and speaker on leadership, conducting seminars for churches, businesses and major corporations. His leadership seminars blend principles of leadership together with lessons on quality living, emphasizing the importance of mission, values and vision, as well as personal character. He also frequently speaks for churches throughout the United States.
