Abstract

This chapter makes a case for the fifth boardroom boldness model. While synthesizing the best components of the other boardroom languages, the reader’s attention is placed on two biblical narratives. An exegesis of such passages unearths a model for followers around the twenty-first-century boardroom to step it up. Additionally, a case is made for influencers to embrace reflective leadership. Ironically, this style of leading is perhaps the very thing that caused God to call David a man after God’s heart (I Sam 13:14) before king-think. Historical cases and current campaigns are employed to help the reader understand the organizational imperatives for transformation.
