In this episode of The Beacon Podcast, Jeff Jowdy talks with Dr. Kent Keith, author of “Anyway: The Paradoxical Commandments.” You no doubt have heard of the “paradoxical commandments” — if nowhere else, then on social media, where, unfortunately, they often are attributed to Mother Theresa.
The commandments are guidelines for finding personal meaning in the face of adversity, for example: People are illogical, unreasonable and self-centered — love them anyway.
In this conversation, Jeff and Kent discuss servant leadership and its role in the world of nonprofits and fundraising. Kent answers questions, including:
• What application is there for servant leadership in the nonprofit world?
• What advice would you offer fundraising professionals today?
